A wrecked toilet on Sandy Lane, Diss
Suffolk County Council Dereliction, and Cotton Flamenco, Suffolk - 22nd October 2005
There's a random weekend of abandoned artefacts around the edge of Diss, an African-style choir near the Town Hall in Ipswich and a ramble around the old Suffolk County Council buildings on Rope Walk: some of these have been leased over to the nearby Suffolk College - including St. Edmund House and the old staff club which is allegedly being turned into a Students' Union - whilst the rest are scheduled for sometime demolition, including a 30s classic in the shape of the old Social Service's building of St. Paul's House, and St. Giles, built in the 1970s as a "temporary" office block and which used to house the finance department, known as Paymasters. Then, on the way back, there's a stop off at the Big Giant Head - a carved oak head on Cranley Green Road just outside Eye. Later on, The Boy Phil sorts out an evening of beer at the Cotton Trowel and Hammer, where there's an unexpected flamenco night - just like Barcelona, sort of.
