Around the coast


Trip to the seaside
John Lee returned to the Old Buckenham Social and Wine Circle in March to give another of his wide-ranging talks. This time the subject was “Seaside architecture” and the audience in the Church Rooms were treated to trip around the Norfolk and Suffolk coast. Using many slides he showed structures such as the piers at Cromer, Yarmouth and Southwold, the custom houses at Kings Lynn and Ipswich, the boating lake at Sheringham and Sizewell power station near Leiston. There were fact and figures to go with all these buildings which encouraged those listening to feel that they all ought to go and look in more detail for themselves.
At the next meeting on 8 April Christine Herbert will be coming to talk on herbal medicines. All are welcome to come along to the Old Buckenham Church Rooms at 7.45pm that evening.
