Cosy Nook, in the grounds of the Red House, Aldeburgh
The Red House was for many years the home of Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears. Cosy Nook, in the grounds, was a cottage they built for their housekeeper, Elizabeth "Nellie" Hudson (1898-1982), when she retired in 1973. Miss Hudson chose the name Cosy Nook herself. The architect was Peter Collymore (1929-2019), who also designed the Library at the Red House for Britten and Pears: his obituary can be seen at https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2019/jul/08/peter-collymore-obituary.
Cosy Nook is now used by Britten Pears Arts for artists' residencies (https://brittenpearsarts.org/take-part/artists/residencies/creative-retreats ).

Curving wall in the gardens of the Red House
This curving wall divides two sections of garden at the home shared by Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears. It was built in the early 1960s using bricks from the bridge over the Alde at Snape Maltings, which was rebuilt at that time (the Victorian bridge was incapable of carrying the weight of expected construction traffic for the Sizewell nuclear power station).
The "new" bridge at Snape can be seen in
