Flatford Mill

Back in April after spending an enjoyable weekend in Dovercourt and Harwich with friends, Sue and I travelled bak home via Flatford Mill.

Flatford mill is a Grade 1 Listed building and managed by the National Trust and situated in East Bergolt, Suffolk. It sits on the River Stour.

It is also the location of John Constables famous Hay Wain and other famous paintings.

You can visit the wikipedia entry for Flatford mill HERE

... and also look at the National Trusts entry HERE

It was a cold wet afternoon, we had a quick wander and then decided on lunch. We then had another walk after lunch.

When we where first married we had posters of Constables Hay Wain and Sainsbury Cathedral on our walls, I supposed much like many people in the 70's. It was great to see the place in person.

Although Constables painting are colourful I felt moved to create mono pictures of some of the views I took. Probably due to the overcast and wet weather.
