As some of you know I’m moving from Rectory Road to Belstead Avenue soon (I’ll give out the address when I’m in the house).  However BT in their enthusiasm have jumped the gun which means I’m effectively without a landline until then.

Normal service will resume and emails will be answered then. 

I’ve had someone complain about not getting through to my home number, so sorry about that.

Yes it was back last night.  I wandered around to hear, it was quiet (although present) at the bottom of Rectory Road and I couldn’t hear it at all in Stoke Street.  However when I walked into Austin Street it was quite intrusive.  The same was the case at the top Wherstead Road (up to Purplett Street) and also down Tyler Street.  Vernon Street had it, but it was largely drowned out by the road traffic (it must get worse after abot 11) and it was clear and strong down Felaw Maltings, Great Whip Street and New Cut West.

The Noise Action Group would like to run a walkabout of the area the next time the cement ship comes, so please let me know if you would like to help.

The electricity cut that caught those of us in Rectory Road (as well as Wherstead Road, Station Street and who knows where else) did not come on in our house until 1.30 pm because they had somehow managed to trip our power switch and we had to call out an electrician.  Luckily we did not open the fridge or freezer or we could have been throwing away almost a weeks worth of food. 

These cuts have been very frequent in the last six months, even if not as long lasting. 

Another Photograph of Bridge, this one is particularly dear to me as it is around the corner from where I live.

Simon Knott (who does the excellent Suffolk Churches website) has also transcribed the plaques.

There is one correction, later on Simon says that he thinks that the pentecostalist church next door used to be St. Peter’s parish rooms, but I was told by Father Leeder at St. Pancras that this was actually an outstation of St. Pancras’s when St Pancras covered most of Bridge Ward.  It may have been both at different times.
