Greenfield Cock

Greenfield seems to have been a man of many parts. He is described as an apprentice carpenter in 1861, but he became a wheelwright in later years. In 1879/80 he is listed in a directory as a "steam miller" and in 1892 just as a miller. He lived in Bell Street, Feltwell, in a house later occupied by Mr Parnell, the village barber.



Thanks to Geoffrey Broadwater of Feltwell for this photo, who says: "How I came to have it I do not know. Being in business in Feltwell for 27 years, several things passed into my posession." Mr Broadwater, who was born in 1916 in Feltwell is the son of the man who kept the General Stors at Manchester House.
