The Demolition of Park Road, Diss, Norfolk - 1st February 2025
Large parts of the area along Park Road in Diss are being - or have recently been - demolished, including the feather factory, which is rapidly turning into some new housing estate, and John Grose - formerly Mereside Ford, Sheffield Garner and Chitty's - where it's now possible to see the view across the Mere to the church, which hasn't been visible from that location for decades. Then we go for a short walk around Eye and check up on Anita-tree - the walnut from our garden which Isobel planted in memory of a late friend. We even stop for a pint in the Queen's Head, which at that time of day isn't too full of swearing, at least in the Cross Street bar.

The old feather factory is turned into housing
There's activity at Diss Bus Station
The remains of John Grose/Sheffield Garner
The John Grose overflow car park is dug up
The church of St. Mary appears behind the rubble
An air-conditioning unit hangs by its cable
It's grey and cold at the Mere
A load of pigeons and doves huddle
A soggy Mere Street
Butchered pigs in the back of a delivery van
The Mere floods up to the benches
The last remains of John Grose
Isobel looks at Anita-tree
Balls of mistletoe
Curious clubbed trees in the Town Moor woods
Isobel wanders past a very-derelict bungalow
The stop/start house rebuild is going again
A nice thatched house beneath Eye Castle
The River Dove is fairly liveley at the moment
Straight rows of winter wheat
We walk to the back of Ash Drive in Eye
It's still Christmas near Mick the Brick's house
Isobel interacts with a cat
The Cross Street bar in the Queen's Head, Eye
Isobel looks out of the window in the Queen's Head
A legacy of the olden days: Smoke Room
