Martin Rouch - Elms Farm
Dairy . Milkman, William Griggs briefly
entertains the idea of leaving the dairy. He and his
fisherman brother, Harold travel to London to try
to get jobs on the LCC trams where his father is already
a driver. Harold is accepted but William is rejected
on account of 'bad feet'. William returns to Southwold
and the dairy where it is not all bad news... One
day, while delivering milk to the Vicarage, he sets
eyes on the Vicar's Geordie cook and is smitten. Despite
the feet, he pursues her home to Sunderland and later
hauls her back to Southwold as his wife. He will continue
tramping the streets as a milkman for the rest of
his working life (Source: Harry Griggs, William's
nephew)
