Stowmarket Local History Group have had various sets of photographs donated to its archive. The George Wilden Collection was one such donation and the SLHG were given full copyright permission for their use. George Wilden, of Stowmarket, was a semi-professional photographer in the 1940s and 50s. I am the archivist for this Group and feel it is important to share this material with other interested Groups and Societies where they will be appreciated. There are more photos of the American Servicemen billeted in Stowmarket that I will make available to this site in the near future.
