Upper Street Suffolk Map

About Upper Street

Upper Street, a quiet corner of Suffolk, exhales a certain rural stillness. It lies 4.4 km north-east of Manningtree (from Manningtree: bearing 54°T, OS grid TM 140 346), and is situated west-south-west of Stutton village. The land here falls away with a gentle, patient slope towards the Stour estuary, and the quality of light, particularly in the late afternoon, seems to imbue the wide fields with a soft, buttery glow. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and rambling roses, trace the boundaries of arable land that has yielded its bounty for generations, the scent of turned earth a constant, subtle perfume. The houses of Upper Street, mostly of brick and flint, stand with a modest dignity, their gardens often spilling over with a riot of colour, a quiet defiance against the encroaching wildness of the surrounding countryside. There is a palpable sense of continuity here, a feeling that the seasons turn with a reliable, unhurried grace.
