Somerleyton
Somerleyton is a village close to the River Waveney in the Waveney District of the English county of Suffolk. Somerleyton is located around north-west of Lowestoft and south-west of Great Yarmouth. The village lies on the edge of The Broads National Park.
Many of the houses consist of the model village built around a green that once belonged to the Somerleyton Estate, formerly the property of the Jernegan family and then to Samuel Morton Peto. Somerleyton Hall is still a private residence, and is open to the public.
==Shops and public houses==
The village has a County Primary school and a thatched combined post office and village shop. Somerleyton railway station is nearby, on the Norwich to Lowestoft line. There is also a pub, ''The Dukes Head'', until circa 1959 another pub, ''The Crown'' was also open in the village. ''The Crown'' was officially an 'off-licence' meaning alcoholic drinks could only be bought, not consumed there. The resident policeman, who at that time lived in the police house adjacent to Somerleyton CP School, could be relied upon to make his approach known so that drinkers could have their pints hidden under the bar in time to avoid prosecution! The village store, part of Waveney Co-operative Society and closed circa 1968, was on the opposite side of the road from ''The Crown'' adjacent to the village pond in the Street and operated a door-to-door delivery service for groceries via trade-bike and the milk delivery van. Both are now private houses as is ''The Reading Room'', which was provided for the use of residents with snooker table etc. until being closed and converted to a dwelling circa 1968.
