What's at 7-9, Water St., Lavenham now?
« on: Thursday 02 June 05 08:54 UTC (UK) »
Hi Everyone,
Lavenham seems to be a much-visited and admired place today.  But can anyone tell me whether 7-9 Water Street, Lavenham are old buildings still, or not.  I have a possible ancestor who was a blacksmith there in 1650...
Very best wishes,
Keith

Hi Keith,

Have you tried posting on:

Someone "on the ground" may be able to help.

Thanks, Dimps,
I'll try and e-mail someone there.  Actually, I really ought to stir my stumps and get across to Lavenham to see for myself (dodging the inevitable coach parties)...
Best wishes,
Keith

Just to put the cap on this now,
I e-mailed someone at the Tourist Information at Lavenham today, Sunday, and had a reply within half-an-hour to confirm that this is indeed still an original, ancient dwelling, but privately owned now.
Will be taking my camera along to Lavenham in the next fortnight or so...

I've got Lingley ancestors too. I have a photo of this row of shops. Can email it if you want.

Hi, Booger,
I did actually go to Lavenham in June, but that row of houses was covered with scaffolding for one reason and another, so the photos I tried to take were not very good.  I would very much like to have a photo of 7-9 Water Street, so will PM you now with my e-mail address.
Thanks so much for this...!
