SUFFOLK · EAST ANGLIA · BEYOND THE HISTORY BOOKS
The past has
a few stories
left in it.
Forgotten lives. Local legends. Mysteries on your doorstep. Join Lee and Gary as they uncover the stories of Suffolk and East Anglia, told like you’re having a pint and a chat about history with a mate down the pub.

PULL UP A CHAIR
Where shall
we start?
A wartime mystery on the coast? A strange night in the forest? Pick a story and come along.
ONE TO GET YOU TALKING
A beach.
A burning sea.
A story that won’t go away.
Shingle Street is one of Suffolk’s most talked-about wartime mysteries. We explore the story, the rumours and the questions that still surround it.
THE TWO BLOKES BEHIND THE CAMERA
We went down
a history
rabbit hole.
Then we thought you might fancy coming with us.
We’re Lee and Gary. We’re not historians—we’re two blokes who love a good story, especially when it happened just down the road.
History Down the Pub explores Suffolk and East Anglia through the people, places and tales that make you stop and think. Sometimes it’s unsettling. Sometimes it’s moving. There’s usually something to laugh about along the way.
We head out to the locations, dig into the stories and bring you along. No exams at the end. Just something worth talking about.
