Aldeburgh Pt.2 - Cottages and More

A flavour of some of the houses and cottages in Aldeburgh. Some are permanent dwellings and some second homes or holiday rentals. Some are on the front and some are in the town. All different.


Once the old Customs House
from the time that Aldeburgh was a thriving port




































I noticed a number of windows were decorated















The Town Steps
My daughter stayed recently in a friends holiday home
at the top of these steps



One of her photos looking down


and looking down in the snow
A photo taken by Tony Pick
and sold in his gallery, Costal Images


I liked this pic because the seating matched the produce


A Fish and Chip shop



And Another




And a Pub
I'm having a busy birthday. After lunch at our hotel we are off to Minsmere and Dunwich a little up the coast. Can't hang around, it will be dark soon after 4.0 pm

Wonderful colors and such a pretty location. Your daughter was blessed to have enjoyed that fantastic view while visiting her friend. I liked the decorated window with all the blue and the flowers. Also really found the white house with the pale yellow door and trim charming. Thanks for the tour!

You keep celebrating, y'hear!

What fun cottages. I love all the different colors--we're so timid here with color most of the time.

Patsy said...

Yes, the colors make the houses look very neat.

Hi Barbara, just catching up on your recent posts. How wonderful you had good weather in Aldeburgh in November.

I enjoyed this wide variety of homes you showed us and noticed many had funny little balconies of one sort or another. Love the wide stony beach too and the misty shots into the distance.

I'm glad you had a good time for your birthday treat. What an amazing thing to run into those friends from America.

Thank you for taking us through Aldeburgh, very colourful and pretty houses. I'm going to look it up on Google Earth so I know 'where we are' I love sailing and the sea so I have to have my cordinates straight. Have a nice day / Tyra

Hello Barbara, at the bottom of my blog I have my music selection so you can mute me if you wish. lol The current song playing is...The Prayer, by Charlotte Church and Josh Grogan. It is beautiful isn't it.

Lavinia said...

I'll meet you at the fish and chip shop! I always think a red front door is so snazzy and distinctive. And the house with the blue shutters and trim...so beautiful.

Oh I do remember this one because I remember your saying that Janie had had that wonderful view. And I still say that I love that pale yellow door!
