Here are a few more pictures from Aldeburgh... the first picture shows the queue at one of the town's two main fish & chip shops – this one tends to get the bigger festival crowds although the locals say the other chippie farther up the High Street is better. This picture was taken at around 1:00pm on Sunday afternoon.



Alternatively, you can visit another festival institution – the Cragg Sisters Tea Rooms (incidentally that is not a real cat in the window).



Here's a view from the Town Steps towards the shore – and yes the sea really was that colour – it may have been shadows cast by the clouds (as distinct from a current of warm water flowing out of the nearby Sizewell nuclear power station).



And finally, forget what people say
about Maggi Hambling's 2003 sculpture Scallop (raised to commemorate local cultural hero Benjamin Britten – the lines "I hear those voices that will not be drowned" comes from his opera Peter Grimes) being the most important piece of public art in Aldeburgh, this is without doubt the most popular statue.
