Discussion on TM4564

This square and the one to the north are home ground to me TM4564 : "I remember, I remember, the house where I was born", although the farm is no longer in the hands of the family. One thing that has been lost are the field names, often historical and/or poetic. For example, TM4564 : Towards Leiston Carr was called "Broom Walk" and TM4564 : Stubble field at Leiston was "Red Rail 14 acres". Other fields/marshes were called "Badgers Burrows", "Captain Rye" (grew that crop particularly well), "Old Covey", "Dovehouse Hill", "Sandy Pightle", "Stack Walk", "Whinney Hill", "Hospital Marsh", "White gate field". History now.
Upper Abbey farmhouse has now been rebuilt after the fire and modernised (lots of en-suites) but with that process the old character has been largely lost. The house where I was born just does not feel the same!
