The entry stated 48 households and mentioned resources including 4 acres of meadow, 1 church and woodland.

The majority of females came under the category of 'Unknown Occupation', indicating they may have been unemployed, along with 4 males.

Although there are still 9 categories, the type of occupation contrasts to 1881 and reflects the changes in technology and equal rights.

However, the 'Caring, Leisure & Other Services' occupation received the second highest number of female workers with a total of 25.

Brockford was home to the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway, however this closed down in 1952.

[16] The closest railway stations to Wetheringsett-cum-Brockford are in the surrounding areas of Stowmarket, Needham Market and Diss, with Stowmarket Railway Station being the closest.

This school has 70 pupils and received a 'Good with Outstanding Features' in its recent Ofsted inspection.

[21] Brockford also is home to the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway Museum.

However, after World War Two, the increase in road use led to the disuse of the railway.

The Museum is a Suffolk tourist attraction and includes photographs, artefacts and rolling stock.

[22] The Old Post Office and attached Waveney cottage, Grade II Listed, is mentioned in Hugh Lander's 'English Cottage Interiors' as being a good example of Suffolk's heritage.

The Post Office was bought by the Smith family in the early 20th century and has changed very little since that time.
