Paddock House Demolition and the BSCC at Thorndon, Suffolk - 13th April 2023

We're in Eye to get a few things from the fabric shop and deli and notice with surprise that Paddock House has finally been demolished, after years in limbo, and in particular as it recently looked like is was being prepped for demolition by hand. There's not much left by the time we get there, and the diggers are working on the last section, where the old main entrance used to be. Then, the remains of the BSCC head out for the second time in the new season out to Thorndon Black Horse. They'd just run out of the local-brew Strummer, and the Adnams wasn't brilliant so after a pint we cycle on to the Beaky in Occold.

The entrance is all the remains of Paddock House

A digger grabs at another bit of building

Bits of timber swing through the air

There's a big hole in Eye where Paddock House was

Rubble is dumped into a tipper for disposal

The giant claw waves around in the air

A big pile of brick and timber

The Fabric Shop still has its Easter display out

Gaz cycles up Cross Street in Eye

The threat of rain is never far away

We cycle past Saunders' Farm

Phil and Paul arrive at the Thorndon Black Horse

There's more rain on the horizon

There's a nice sunset near Occold

The Boy Phil interacts with the pub dog

Phil's on his phone again
