Snooks Aldeburgh, suffolk.
Snooks Aldeburgh, suffolk. He was there at sunset in his normal pose, keeping guard on the Victorian boating lake that Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, Britain's first woman doctor, donated to the Suffolk town of Aldeburgh. But by morning, Snooks was gone. The mysterious theft of the little bronze statue of a dog earlier this year caused such widespread grief that locals and regular visitors are raising £2,000 for a replacement. The Snooks Affair says much about both sets of people. They don't like change, and lack of change is the essential charm of this old North Sea fishing port. Indeed, Aldeburgh remains much as it was a century ago. The fishermen are fewer but they still sit between tides, mending their nets and selling fish from huts beside their boats. Composer Benjamin Britten, who lived here from 1947 to 1957, left Aldeburgh a formidable musical legacy that resulted the building of the concert hall at nearby Snape Maltings. As a result Aldeburgh has become a year-round resort. But in the summer it remains a classical seaside haunt for families.
