The SCC Social Club and the Demolition of Diss Publishing, Ipswich and Diss - 2nd April 2005

First off, there's a trip to Suffolk County Council Social Club for a few beers. There are two similar photos here, which breaks the repetition rule, but photos of the SCC bar in daylight are rare enough, so there you go. Then, the demolition of part of the Diss Publishing Bookshop - the most radical thing to happen to Diss since the building of Safeway in the 90s - occurs. Whilst taking photos, one of the builders spots Nosher taking photos and invites him in. The dude had lived in Diss for 62 years and could remember when the now-demolished building was actually a garage and petrol station. Finally, Nosher's old man turns up to help out with a bit of gardening.
