If local journalism is to be trusted it seems #Southwold influenced #Orwell’s writing, but he never fitted in:

‘To him, Southwold reeked of families who recalled the good ol’ days of British colonialism and middle-class ideologies.

Orwell was a political thinker who believed in democratic socialism. It is unsurprising that he never fitted in at Southwold, though he is commemorated there today as one of the town’s greatest inhabitants.’

Another trip to Southwold harbour :)
