Hello Desley   Bridge House in Bungay was a private house owned by Samuel Scott - he was a relative of J.B. Scott the diarist, who often mentioned it in his diaries.    The sister of my 3x great grandfather, Hannah Butcher lodged there in 1851 and 1861 - she nearly married J B Scott's father and was a great friend of the family and ended up living with them.    The census of 1851 gives the address as 110 Common Drift, Bungay and I am pretty sure from the diaries that this is where Bridge House was. (this would need checking)   If you would like to email me - I will look up some more details (I think I may also have a drawing of Bridge House somewhere!)   Rosie Frost     Message: 4 Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2011 20:55:45 +1000 From: "Desley Revell" <desley.revell@gmail.com> Subject: [SFK-UK] Bridge House, Bridge Street, Bungay To: "Suffolk Digest" <SUFFOLK@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <002201cbb0b4$f6836840$e38a38c0$@gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain;    charset="us-ascii" Can anyone assist me as I am looking for more information on Bridge House.  Also what number in Bridge Street, Bungay, this property would have been located. Would it have been a private home, or something else.  I have found this address on one of my ancestors in the 1911 census. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
