How is Aldeburgh pronounced?

[WhatKindOfCake]

Just that really. I've only ever seen it written down. I work at a heritage property that contains various art works. One of our paintings is by Maggi Hambling and I mention to visitors her friendships with George Melley and with Francis Bacon. I also like to mention the Scallop sculpture on Aldeburgh beach, but I'm never sure if I'm saying it correctly. Any locals here to help me out?

Not local, but another art fan. Love love love Maggi’s work and the Scallop is incredible.

My attempt to convey the pronunciation is

Awld-bru

That’s as close as I can get - the A is long, and burgh is like in Edinburgh. The e isn’t pronounced.

I'm not from there but i think it's pronounced all bra / awl bru

Awl-d-bruh.

This one

I would say Orrld-bru, with the bru like brush. I have a Yorkshire accent so brush is a clipped vowel.

OHLD-bruh

I love her too and I'm amazed at the number of visitors we get who have never heard of her!

Thanks everyone. I will now say "Awldbruh" with confidence!

Edinburgh is pronounced Eddin-burrah. There is no bruh in it.

I live in Suffolk. It’s Awl -bruh. (There is the merest touch of a “d” but you can’t really hear it.)

Yes I’ve always said it without the D

Awl burrah or Awl bruh - kind of in between those two.

It has kind of a long A too. You don’t hear much of the D.

Used to live down the road from there. The D isn't pronounced. I would say Awl-bruh, emphasis on the first syllable, the second one almost thrown away.

I’m from the area and that’s how I pronounce it.
But now I’ve said it to myself so many times it sounds wrong!

Ahlburuh.

Yes. This is how we say it.

I live here.

@ FUDJTFOTTFEOF -

No, it’s very definitely Awwwwwl - bruh.

Lived nearby for years and this is what I say too.

Definitely not Ahlburuh

Me too, and this is correct

As you live there I'll go with your version!

I'm from Worcestershire, so I'm well used to helping people (generally non-brits) with pronouncing where I live 😄.

There’s definitely no ‘d’ sound.
All-bruh

My attempt to convey the pronunciation is
Awld-bru

I read that the same way I would Irn-Bru 😂

I say Old-bruh, with no much emphasis on the the 'd'

We live a few miles away and would say "Awl(d)-bruh" as well (with a super gentle d) - very almost "Awl-bruh".

Old-bruh

My husband went to school there and this is exactly how he says it!
