A is for Aldeburgh |
|
|
 |
| Aldeburgh
has a long fishing tradition |
|
|
Tradition
is important to the people of Aldeburgh but there is more to this
town than its history.
Aldeburgh
has prospered from the success of its boat building and fishing
industries in the past.
|
|
|
|
|
Although the fishing industry has declined, a stroll along the beach
past the tangles of ropes, buoys and nets, and the little huts selling
the catch they have just landed, show that this is still an active
fishing town.
The fish caught off Aldeburgh beach is earning the town a reputation
in another way nowadays.
The Cooney family have owned a fish and chip shop in this picturesque
town for the last 30 years and regularly have customers queuing
along the street to sample their award winning fish and chips.
The fame of their little shop has even reached the national press
with the Times describing it as, "possibly the finest on the
East Coast."

Another
important part of town life is the Aldeburgh lifeboat, the Freddie
Cooper.
Ian Firmin and his crew save many lives a year, risking their own
to head out to see in sometimes trecherous conditions.
There is a lot more to Aldeburgh than maybe the thousands of tourists
that visit the town each year are aware.
To the people that live there, it is a very special place.
Do
you live in Aldeburgh? What about Aldeburgh makes it so special?

e.g. Online Team
you do not give any relavent information like pictures of maps and an introduction about where it is situated
