From what I can recall a matter of years back, there was supposed to have been a Commemorative Plaque placed on a building in Thetford as a tribute to the cast of Dad's Army. My Father goes to Thetford on average once a month, but he has as yet, to see if it is there at all.

Unless any other member on here can confirm this, I will do my best to go and look myself sometime.

Hi Brian,

There is a plaque inside the Bell Hotel commemorating the first Dad's Army filming, not outside!

I think that there may also have been a plaque put on the houses in Nether Row but I cannot be sure about that.

Dave

I guess they figured the plaque would be safer inside than out1 In today's world, they were probably right too.
