Hilary Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Coming home from Southwold today, I stopped at the Victoria Inn in Earl Soham. There is an unlabled picture on the wall there, showing a young man from about the 1920's or early 30's, who is playing what looks like an English or Duet concertina, with an anglo on the table in front of him. The instrument being played is very large, possible 2 1/2 hands across. I forgot to count the sides. The landlord says that he got the picture in a job-lot at auction and doesn't know anything about it. There is no name or date that I could see and the light wasn't good enough to take a picture. The pose is very like 'Herbert Green' in the ICA archives, but isn't him. Ant ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Day Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I think you will have to take a picture of the photo Hilary.It could be anyone if the Landlord got the picture at auction,not necesseraly a local person to Southwold or Suffolk where you were. Lovely Folk music area. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilary Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 yeh, thanks Alan. I was begining to think I might have to force myself to go back. Oh the hardships of research! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Day Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I love Southwold and the research project does sound rather inviting. Adnams Ales over that way as well. It may take time to study this picture. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightfield Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I love Southwold and the research project does sound rather inviting.Adnams Ales over that way as well. It may take time to study this picture. Al <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I had 8 years of holidays in Southwold. The kids fell in love with an activity/family holiday there and when the kids are happy so are the parents. A great place and Adnams ales which i'm pleased to see go far and wide these days. Sorry, a bit off topic here. No idea about the pub in Earl Soham but next time I drive up the M11 I might seek it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilary Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 Sorry to disappoint you, Alan, but after a weekend drinking Adnams (ah the taste of Oyster when it's fresh! yum), we wanted to try something else. The Victoria is a micro-brew pub and VERY nice it is too. They had 3 ales on, which might be why I couldn't get a photo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hilary, You will just have to keep trying. Perhaps sampling the ales in many pubs to check out any possible pictures that they might have hanging. You will be the designated seeker. The seeker of truth. Just hope you are still standing at the end of the day. Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilary Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hmm, If I was still standing at the end of the day, could it really be called a pub crawl? Would it be a fair test or, just perhaps, I'd have to go round again to make sure I hadn't missed something I'll need help, though Would I be able to play the 'tina afterwards?

Helen Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Well, Hilary, I think that I should just go around with you. We could hold each other up. At the end, we would think the concertina playing was superb! Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
