    Records Relating to the 1939 – 1945 War This is a list of resources in the three branches of the Record Office which relate exclusively to the 1939-1945 War and which were created because of the War. However, virtually every type of organisation was affected in some way by the War so it could also be worthwhile looking at the minute books and correspondence files of local councils, churches, societies and organisations, and also school logbooks. The list is in three sections: Pages 1-10: references in all the archive collections except for the Suffolk Regiment archive. They are arranged by theme, moving broadly from the beginning of the War to its end. Pages 10-12: printed books in the Local Studies collections.

  • Shotley Gate Conservation Area Appraisal
    Shotley Gate conservation area appraisal Introduction The idea of a conservation area covering the HMS Ganges site at Shotley Gate was put forward during 2010. The Council has a duty to review its conservation area designations from time to time, and following an initial investigation, this more detailed appraisal has now been produced in line with the Council’s other appraisals. This appraisal examines Shotley Gate under a number of different headings as set out in English Heritage’s new ‘Guidance on Conservation Area Appraisals’ (2006). As such it is a straightforward appraisal of Shotley Gate’s built environment in conservation terms, which is felt sufficient to justify the area’s designation as a conservation area. As a document it is neither prescriptive nor overly descriptive, but more a demonstration of ‘quality of place’, sufficient for the briefing of the Planning Officer when assessing proposed works in the area. The photographs and maps are thus intended to contribute as much as the text itself. As the English Heritage guidelines point out, the appraisal is to be read as a general overview, rather than as a comprehensive listing, and the omission of any particular building, feature or space does not imply that it is of no interest in conservation terms. Text, photographs and map overlays by Patrick Taylor, Conservation Architect, Babergh District Council 2011. Topographical Framework Shotley Gate is a small settlement right on the tip of the Shotley peninsula, where the Rivers Orwell and Stour meet. The county town of Ipswich, at the head of the Orwell estuary, lies ten miles to the north-west, whilst the villages of Brantham in Suffolk and Manningtree in Essex face each other across the head of the Stour estuary a similar distance west.

  • SCDC Report for July 2017 from TJ
    SCDC report for July 2017 from T.J. Haworth-Culf and Maureen Jones Now the elections are out of the way, and the prolonged ‘purdah’ period has finished, we are back to business as usual. Thank you so much for your support. Financial Year Outrun Report 2016/17: Once again, we have a very positive report on the Council’s financial performance for 2016/17 in respect of the General Fund, Reserves, the Capital Programme and the Collection Fund. The key points to highlight are: o Through careful and effective budget management the Council delivered savings and achieved additional income, which helped to meet spending pressures and reduction in Government Grant. o The Council increased its General Fund balance by £74k, to £4.194m, maintaining a prudent level of around 3%-5% of gross expenditure. o The Council was able to increase its Earmarked Reserves by £8.571m. £6.676m of this was to the Business Rate Equalisation Reserve. This was due to rates income above the Governments baseline and a one-off transfer of a surplus from a prior year reduction in the appeals provision. o The Capital Programme expenditure for 2016/17 was £4.096m, funded from external grants and contributions, capital receipts and capital reserve. The Council did not enter into any borrowing in 2016/17 to finance its capital expenditure and consequently remains debt free. T he final outturn position is subject to the audit of the Statement of Accounts. The audited Statement of Accounts will be submitted for approval to full Council in September 2017.

AND DERBY 1908 {All Kifkts Rtterifed] DEDICATED TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE Sir William Brampton Gurdon K.C.M.G., M.P., L.L. PREFACE SUFFOLK has not yet found an historian. Gage published the only complete history of a Sufifolk Hundred; Suckling's useful volumes lack completeness. There are several manuscript collections towards a History of Suffolk—the labours of Davy, Jermyn, and others. Local historians find these compilations extremely useful ; and, therefore, owing to the mass of material which they contain, all other sources of information are neglected. The Records of Suffolk, by Dr. W. A. Copinger shews what remains to be done. The papers of this volume of the Memorial Series have been selected with the special purpose of bringing to public notice the many deeply interesting memorials of the past which exist throughout the county; and, further, they are published with the view of placing before the notice of local writers the results of original research. For over six hundred years Suffolk stood second only to Middlesex in importance ; it was populous, it abounded in industries and manufactures, and was the home of great statesmen.

  • USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction
    USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction During the Second World War, the East of England became home to hundreds of US airmen. They began arriving in 1942, with many existing RAF (Royal Air Force) airfields made available to the USAAF (United States Army Air Force). By 1943 there were over 100,000 US airmen based in Britain. The largest concentration was in the East of England, where most of the 8th Air Force and some of the 9th were located on near a hundred bases. The 8th Air Force was the largest air striking force ever committed to battle, with the first units arriving in May 1942. The 9th Air Force was re-formed in England in October 1943 - it was the operator of the most formidable troop-carrying force ever assembled. Their arrival had an immediate impact on the East Anglian scene. This was the 'friendly invasion' - a time of jitterbugging dances and big band sounds, while the British got their first taste of peanut butter, chewing gum and Coke. Famous US bandleader Glenn Miller was based in the Bedford area (Bedfordshire), along with his orchestra during the Second World War. Close associations with residents of the region produced long lasting friendships, sometimes even marriage. At The Eagle pub in Cambridge (Cambridgeshire), and The Swan Hotel at Lavenham (Suffolk), airmen left their signatures on the ceiling/walls. The aircraft of the USAAF were the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator - used by the Bombardment Groups (BG); and the P-51 Mustang, P-38 Lightning and P-47 Thunderbolt - used by the Fighter Groups (FG).

  • Tides of Change 2 Million Years on the Suffolk Coast
    Tides of Change 2 million years on the Suffolk Coast Tim Holt-Wilson 2 Tides of Change 2 million years on the Suffolk Coast How to use this book This is an introduction to over 2 million years of change on the Suffolk coast. Rising seas and surging ice sheets have come and gone, leaving a legacy you can discover for yourself. We suggest you start by flicking through the book and finding a few sites that catch your interest, then plan a visit using the map and access details inside the back cover. Some words which may be unfamiliar to you are listed in the glossary. All sites can be visited at your own risk. Please stick to beaches and paths, and follow the Countryside Code. Dead people don’t enjoy life The seashore can be a dangerous place so treat it with respect. Don’t get cut off by a rising tide or crushed under a cliff fall (soft cliffs like ours can give way without warning even in fine weather). And don't push your luck by standing on the cliff edge. Respect Nature Please don’t trample on vegetated shingle, a surprisingly fragile habitat, and steer clear of fenced areas with ground nesting birds in spring. Dogs on leads near these places too please.
