The River Deben, 'An Old World Fairway' by Michael Weaver
“Who will come a-sailing,
Who will come with me,
Down the sunny Deben
To the distant sea?”
Smuggling in and around Framlingham
Framlingham is well known for its castle and its many attractive buildings. The villages surrounding Framlingham have large village greens, a long history of brewing and witchcraft (or at least witch trials) which will all be explained in another article.
But now to smuggling and an extract from Smuggling in the British Isles: a History by Richard Platt For more detail visit his website www.smuggling.co.uk
Smuggling around Woodbridge and the Deben Estuary
The ancient market town of Woodbridge was once a major ship building town providing ships for the English fleet fighting the Spanish Armada in 1588 and today there are still many boats in the river, some working but the majority leisure craft.
Just a few miles from the sea at Bawdsey smuggling boats would have travelled up the Deben Estuary to land their bounty in Woodbridge or beyond. Below is an extract from Smuggling in the British Isles: a History by Richard Platt For more detail visit his website www.smuggling.co.uk
