Excerpt from What I Remember
There was a very cordial and friendly feeling between my father and the seafaring men at Aldeburgh. He was a merchant and owned a small ?eet of trading vessels which plied between our little town and London, and also Newcastle and the North. Later he built vessels for himself at his principal place of business, Snape.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of a remarkable woman, whose experiences spanned a period of great social and political change. The author, herself a key figure in the burgeoning womenââ â¢s suffrage movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, provides an intimate portrait of her own family and the world they inhabited. Readers will be transported back to the quaint seaside town of Aldeburgh, where the authorââ â¢s childhood was shaped by the traditions of seafaring life, the unique personalities of her family's servants, and the quiet, yet often dramatic, social interactions of a close-knit community. Through vivid anecdotes and observations, the author provides a rich tapestry of daily life, capturing the joys and challenges of a bygone era. From the excitement of the Crimean War to the stark reality of shipwrecks, the authorââ â¢s narrative brims with life and detail. The book also delves into the author's personal journey, including her experience as a young woman entering a world where women were largely denied the opportunities afforded to men.
