History

Molly and Ethel Everson who managed a boatyard in Suffolk with their two brothers until 1969. The two sisters managed the chandlery, sail store and the office where the Deben Rowing Club stands and there is now a sculpture near there to commemorate them. Molly in particular repaired sails and worked on the yard, for example antifouling boats. After their parents died, Molly and Ethel lived in a shed behind the yard probably because they had no money and no where else to live. Unfortunately, the shed was washed away but they found a new home in the ‘tin hut’ and Molly grew vegetables and flowers behind it. Eventually, they moved into a flat on the Thoroughfare as the yard was taken over to be developed and they are now buried together in the same plot in the local cemetery.

Image
  Imagine a bustling society of tiny, determined beings—the autotrophic bacteria—living in a vibrant, unseen world. These microscopic citizens thrive in environments rich with ammonia, a substance that many consider waste, yet for them, it’s a treasure trove of energy. In this miniature realm, the autotrophic bacteria are akin to resourceful warriors, battling against the harsh conditions of their surroundings. They form intricate communities, each member armed with unique abilities to harness energy from ammonia. As they  oxidise this nitrogen-rich compound, they engage in a relentless struggle for survival, converting ammonia into energy through a sophisticated process akin to a bustling factory. Picture them as skilled artisans, meticulously crafting energy from the raw materials at their disposal. They employ intricate biochemical pathways, transforming ammonia into essential nutrients that sustain their lives. This transformation is not without its challenges; they must n...
