I do hope I have this in the correct section?
I saw in the Eastern Daily Press yesterday, that plans have been put forward to transform the Thetford Hotel used in the series, into Flats and Shops. WHAT a farce to do this and with memories of one of the very best television shows, being filmed there on the odd occasion?

The Anchor, for this is the pub, is a bit of a dump and no investment has been made in the business or the buildings for years.
Once a far better place to stay - The Bell is always noisy at weekends - it too has suffered with late night drinking and muisc.

I very recently visited Thetford and passed the Anchor Hotel, but regret to say it is now in a Very sorry state. If I can get there again and once I get the car back on the road, I will endeavour to get a photograph and post it on here. Hopefully, it wont be too long.

Who can forget it, Will. With the rest of the Dad's Army crowd in attendance too, it was rather surreal, wasn' t it!
