Numbers 213 and 215 High Street were originally a house and shop, now two houses. Built in the early 19th century and altered and amalgamated in the 20th century. Constructed in brick with the front stuccoed and lined to represent ashlar. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1269739 Aldeburgh is a coastal town, some 20 miles north east of Ipswich and 23 miles south of Lowestoft. Although there are traces of Roman and Saxon occupation, Aldeburgh was a little fishing village until the shifting coastline opened up a sheltered harbour which became a thriving ship building centre. As the River Alde silted up the town’s fortunes waned, and it survived as a fishing village until the 19th Century when it became a fashionable seaside resort. A classical music festival takes place at nearby Snape Maltings each year.
