It was a very special occasion when Mrs Corry’s sister Pauli, rang the museum from Delft and explained that her Sister Corry, was marrying Alfred and wondered if we would send a card wishing them well. Two way communication continued  and culminated with this visit.

The Alfred Corry Museum in Southwold welcomed Mr & Mrs Alfred Wald from Holland with flags, music and champagne.

There was much laughter, and almost some tears, when the Dutch National Anthem echoed around the lifeboat shed. Other visitors to the museum joined in and helped to finish the celebration cake, which the Curator’s wife baked. There was even some Old Amsterdam Cheese too.

Come along and pay us a visit. We can’t promise you cake and cheese, but you’ll get a warm welcome!
