Aldeburgh village sign Suffolk has 400 villages and towns with village or town signs, give or take one or two. The tradition of village signs is believed to have started in Norfolk early in the 20th century when Edward VII suggested that village signs would aid motorists and give a feature of interest on the Sandringham Estate. Many of the signs were made by Harry Carter, an art and woodwork master at Hamond’s Grammar School, in Swaffham. Many have now been replaced with fibreglass or modern plastics. The story behind the sign is given as accurately as possible.

Tribute to Benjamin Britten : Words from Britten's Peter Grimes This sculpture, created by local artist Maggie Hamblin, resides on the beach at Aldeburgh. Although it caused some consternation when erected it now sits quietly, pondering over the sea and is now visited quite frequently. I have actually cheated in as much as the image is "flipped" in order to have the poetry reasonably legible against the setting sun (west) which is actually behind the piece. In reality, one needs to be facing seaward (east) to read the words.
