Bartrums Dereliction, and The Christmas Lights, Diss and Eye, Norfolk and Suffolk - 4th December 2009

Nosher, Isobel and The Boy head in to Eye of a Friday evening to watch the turning on of the Eye Christmas Lights. The road past the town hall has been closed off for the occasion, and the place is busy with a small market and some entertainments. Later on, the Hoxon Hundred Morris dancers do their thing. The whole town, and its surroundings, seems to be out for the night to enjoy the events. Before that, Nosher's in Diss to see the on-going demolition of the old Bartrum's yard, on the corner of Victoria Road and Stuston Road.
