Aerial views

Picture from Jack Adams. Information from Vanessa Whinney. Note the warehouse where Waterside is today (said to once have stored Pink Floyd props including the pink pig from their record cover floating over Battersea Power Station). Waterside was built in 1991/2 by Sabbertons of Beccles for Arthur and Maureen Crisp. They sold to a couple who were only there for about a year, after which it was sold to Vanessa Whinney in 2007. The building on the site was a warehouse built in the 1960s and attached to the Mill by a shute. Jack Adams, who worked at the Mill remembers that the site was actually the River Waveney, perhaps a barge pool alongside the river, which was filled with spoil from an old airfield to make a foundation for the warehouse. Vanessa's father, James Fletcher-Watson, was one of Britain's leading 20th century water colour painters. Vanessa too is an artist.
