Moses Storkey - Landlord. (1795 -1854). Moses owns the adjacent row of cottages known as Albert Place. He is also a Town Councillor (M). In his book, 'Bygones and Local Characters of Southwold', Barrett Jenkins offers an interesting profile of Moses. Click here to read it.

In the Census of 1851 Moses defines himself as 'Yeoman' which, at tthe time, equates to 'landowner' and one qualified to serve on juries. James Maggs, indeed, records that he serves on a jury at an inquest held at the 'Old Swan' in Nov 1842 into the death of mariner Abraham Girling who was 'knocked over the cliff and instantly died' having been in a 'quarrell' with Foster Bokenham.
