The view from Grandad's 7th-floor room
A Heritage Open Day, Eye, Suffolk - 18th September 2022
There's a Heritage Open Day in Eye, which means that as well as a trail of buildings with old photos of how they used to be, there are a few things open that aren't normally - including the chapels in the cemetary, and the council chambers above the town hall. Before that, there's a round-up of randomness, including a trip to see Grandad in yet another hospital, a trip with Mick the Brick to the Cherry Tree at Yaxley, and the BSCC are out at the Ampersand Tap via the Burston Crown.
