A excellent day out around Stowmarket starting at Haughley and some exclusive spotting points never seen before! Unfortunately the intercity 90's were only running as far as Marks Tey due to engineering works.
Haughley info:
Haughley is an historic village in the English county of Suffolk, about two miles from Stowmarket. Mentioned in the Domesday Book, it was the site of a castle, a church on the pilgrim's route to Bury St Edmunds Abbey, and a market. Adjacent farms on the north side of the village were also home to one of the first studies of organic farming and the first headquarters of the Soil Association.
About Haughley:
Haughley is about 2 miles (3.2 km) miles northwest of Stowmarket, overlooking the River Rat and the Gipping valley, next to the A14 corridor.
The parish anciently divided into the four divisions of Haughley Green, Old Street, New Street and Tothill, with a population of 1638 at 2011. The original 120 acres of Haughley Green, north of the main village, were enclosed in 1854 and dissected by the main railway line from London Liverpool Street to Peterborough.
The village has evidence of neolithic, pagan, Iron Age, Roman and Saxon settlements and was first mentioned (as Hag'e'le) in the will of Leofgifu, a Saxon noblewoman, in 1040. Leofgifu bequeathed Haughley to her only daughter who may eventually have become the wife of Guthmund, the holder of Haughley in 1066 (Guthmund was the brother of Wulfric, 'a kinsman' of Edward the Confessor, appointed Bishop of Ely c. 1052-63). Haughley is mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086 as Hagala being held by Hugh de Montfort, having formerly been held by the Saxon lord Guthmund for Edward.
A medieval market town and site of a royal fortress, Haughley prospered till the Tudor period then went into decline further compounded by a fire in the early 1700s at which it is said[citation needed] “out of the ashes of Haughley, Stowmarket arose”.
Through the Victorian period to the present day the village has grown and was connected to water and sewerage with the addition of local authority housing at the instigation of the infamous and controversial Rev Walter Grainge White in the 1920s following the description of Haughley and its open sewers by the Daily Mail in 1928 as “the fever pit of the kingdom”.
Haughley Market:
Haughley was once the location of a market, predating that of nearby Stowmarket.
Before the Norman conquest in 1066, an old Saxon market was situated outside the outer bailey of Haughley Castle,[48][49] in Duke Street next to the entrance to Castle Farm. After the conquest, the market moved to the current site of the village green. The formal grant of a Saturday market was given on 4 August 1227 by Henry III to Hubert de Burgh, then Lord of the Manor. At that time the outer bailey ditch was being filled in and houses erected upon it (i.e. The Post Office to the White House (Crown Hall) row of properties).
The market was extensive, and carefully regulated; traders — including one William Hoxon in 1464 from Stowmarket — were fined as late as the reign of James I for lying in wait to sell meat and eggs outside the bounds of the market. Butchers from Stowmarket were fined in 1540 for selling meat outside the market on market day to the tune of 3s 6d.
By 1500 the market place was surrounded on all sides by buildings backing on to Market Street (today known as Old Street) and Dial Farm. The Angel Inn and the Crown Inn faced directly into the market, which had at least 40 stall placements of around 15 feet (4.6 m) square. Today only one side survives and one building on another side, the Bakehouse - like the Bakehouse, the Counting House and Antrim House deeds similarly described themselves as stalls. A continuation of properties either side of the Bakehouse to the village pump can be noted today by the different height of the banks of village green along the trackway.
Over time, properties and stalls became wasted - derelict. From the mid 17th century, the market declined and following a great fire in the village in 1710, Stowmarket rose from the ashes. In 1855 the market was discontinued, and the space became a village green by grant of enclosure.
Transport:
The village was served by Haughley Road railway station (on the Ipswich and Bury Railway, later part of the Eastern Union Railway) from 1846 to 1849, and then Haughley railway station (built for the Great Eastern Railway) from 1849 to its closure in 1967 as part of the Beeching cuts. The Mid-Suffolk Light Railway branch line ran from Haughley to Laxfield and was initially intended to run further to Southwold. The Haughley junction is the main arterial junction for rail traffic in East Anglia and as such suffered heavy bombing during World War II. The station, its four platforms and turntable were demolished in the 1980s except for one small waiting room.

Royal praise for bravery of Apache crews 20.07.11
The Prince of Wales has praised the courage and bravery of Apache attack helicopter crews in Afghanistan. He has been presenting operational medals to 35 soldiers from 4 Regiment Army Air Corps at Wattisham Airfield. They have just returned from their first tour of Afghanistan. Prince Charles said the aircraft technology had left him far behind when he came to see Prince Harry who is undergoing training with the Army Air Corps. He said:: I was lucky enough to have a flight in an Apache a few months ago. I had to be shown how to strap myself in and just about every other aspect of the aircraft by my youngest son. I found I am past my sell by date when it came to controlling such a sophisticated aircraft. I am not part of the Playstation generation which seems to be vital when getting to grips with the controls of an Apache. I couldn't read the writing on the dashboard so I was constantly peering at the display. The Prince paid his respects to the families of servicemen, saying: When my son was away for several weeks I found it is much worse being left behind than when you're out there having to do these things. Prince Harry, known as Captain Wales on base, is now trained to fly a helicopter and is undergoing conversion to role training at Wattisham before being assigned to a squadron at some point next year.

Freemasons 5,000,000 walk among us british report part 4
While Freemasonry has often been called a secret society, Freemasons themselves argue that it is more correct to say that it is an esoteric society, in that certain aspects are private.[1] The most common phrasing is that Freemasonry has, in the 21st century, become less a secret society and more of a society with secrets
