Neighbourhood information
Aldeburgh
Aldeburgh is a charming coastal town with a wonderful pebble beach and reputedly the best fish and chips in Suffolk. It is full of culture, has its own cinema and a host of boutique shops and art galleries.
Aldeburgh has a very rich and varied history dating back to Roman-Saxon times and was once the centre of a thriving fishing industry. During the reign of Henry VII Aldeburgh became an important centre of ship-building and this continued into the reign of Elizabeth I. The Pelican and the Greyhound, both ships of Frances Drake, were constructed in Aldeburgh. Whilst ship-building in Aldeburgh is no longer its major source of income the fishing industry is still going strong and visitors to the town can visit the huts on the beachfront to purchase the freshest fish and shellfish Suffolk can offer.
Aldeburgh has played host to many famous people over the years. Composer Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears lived and worked here from 1942. One of Britten’s most famous works, Peter Grimes, is based on the work of another Aldeburgh resident, the poet George Crabbe. In 1948 Britten founded the Aldeburgh Festival in Aldeburgh and several local Churches, it moved to Snape later when the malting houses were converted to the now world-renowned concert hall.
Probably the most famous female resident of Aldeburgh was Elizabeth Garrett Anderson. She was the first women to openly gain a medical qualification in Britain and a prominent leader of the Suffragist movement. In 1908 she became Mayor of Aldeburgh, the first woman in Britain to hold such a position. The critical care centre at Ipswich Hospital is named after her to recognise her achievements.
Take a stroll around Aldeburgh to see if you can spot the blue plaques commemorating Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, Benjamin Britten and four others who contributed to the world of writing, film and women’s rights.
