Closing Down: A Late January Miscellany, Diss, Norfolk - 31st January 2015

There's a sort of closing-down and dereliction theme going on, which suits the end-of-January weather. Firstly, Eye police station is once more up for sale, with the plot available for re-development so the existing buildings will no doubt get demolished. Also in Eye, there's a photo of one of our favourite eateries - Lindsay House - which has closed due to retirement. There's also a glimpse of the stripey ex-Virgin train - sometimes known as the Pretendolino - that Greater Anglia has leased for two years at a cost of nearly £1 million, as it pulls in to Diss station. Also in Diss, a derelict infant school is discovered hiding behind Mavery House, and we have lunch in Amandines for the first time in ages.
