[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 6710277, member: 44728"] If you go on to YouTube and search for The English Village is Alive and Well, you can find all 7 bits of the life on Peasenhall Village from the early 1900s to 1969. There is a lot about the Smyth drill amongst it and various bits about farming. A word of warning though: I haven’t lived near there for 24 years and even I (now) struggle a bit to understand the local accent! Best of luck, but I’m sure you will enjoy it. Which translates to “suffunt” like this: U wud o wornen thoo: Oi hint livd over there fer for-un-twenty years und evun oi struggle t’understand the loocul acsunt! All-a-best, um shore yu’ll injoy ut. It was narrated by Robert Dougall, who used to be a BBC newsreader and lived nearby. He as a keen birdwatcher and helped set up Minsmere Wildflowl Trust on the nearby Coast, just South of Dunwich and North of the Sizewell Nuclear Power Station. As for the Peas, Birdseye used to grow a lot of them in the area for their factory at Lowestoft, presumably as an offshoot of the frozen fish business. I can remember hauling many lorry loads of freshly vined peas from Peasenhall to the factory and it is absolutely true that they are harvested and frozen within 2 hours. [/QUOTE]
