title A Heritage Open Day, Eye, Suffolk - 18th September 2022 intro There's a Heritage Open Day in Eye, which means that as well as a trail of buildings with old photos of how they used to be, there are a few things open that aren't normally - including the chapels in the cemetary, and the council chambers above the town hall. Before that, there's a round-up of randomness, including a trip to see Grandad in yet another hospital, a trip with Mick the Brick to the Cherry Tree at Yaxley, and the BSCC are out at the Ampersand Tap via the Burston Crown. img_20220916_141341940_hdr The view from Grandad's 7th-floor room img_20220916_141624963 Grandad's got his own room this time imgp0030 Morrisons has a bit of a Queen tribute going on imgp0050 Mick the Brick cycles off up the runway imgp0051 Interesting clouds behind a wind turbine imgp0056 There's an oversized Jenga stack on a table imgp0057 It's a shock as Thrandeston pond has been drained imgp0060 Finningham White Horse does half-mast over the top imgp0061 Paul at Burston Crown imgp0064 Phil and Gaz check their phones out imgp0066 The bar at Ampersand Tap imgp0068 There's a nice star pattern on a heritage tomato imgp7995 In Eye town hall imgp7997 Fred looks at model B-24 Liberators imgp7998 Eye airfield during WWII imgp8002 The boys roam around in the council chambers imgp8005 A couple look at paintings on the wall imgp8006 Harry and Fred are a bit bored already imgp8008 Isobel in the council chambers imgp8012 We head down the surprisingly long staircase imgp8015 There's a cute and tiny Royal Mail van outside imgp8020 Whant and Sons on Lowgate Street in the 1950s imgp8023 Shurey and Son the butchers has moved to Stuston imgp8024 Broad Street looking down Lowgate Street imgp8025 A former shop on Castle Street imgp8026 Fred's cubing in The Bank imgp8028 In The Bank imgp8029 A photo of The Bank when it was an actual bank imgp8031 Harry's discovered tea imgp8032 The café counter in The Bank imgp8033 There's an art exhibition in The Bank imgp8035 The boys have a cream tea imgp8036 Pictures at an exhibition imgp8038 A photo of the Midland Bank from the 1920s imgp8040 The Eye volunteer centre on Magdalen Street imgp8041 The Shazam chicken factory is recruiting imgp8042 The old gasworks on Magdalen Street imgp8044 The twin chapels of Eye Cemetary imgp8045 The former C of E chapel imgp8047 Inside the C of E chapel imgp8050 Harry's bored as Fred cubes in a pew imgp8053 The other chapel is a bit more derelict imgp8057 There's a dead mouse in the pulpit imgp8060 Dead leaves on a tiled floor imgp8064 We head off back to Eye imgp8066 Harry on the new boardwalk imgp8073 Isobel points something out on Lambseth Street imgp8074 An interesting spelling of "do well" imgp8075 The old school imgp8076 The Victorian town hall in Eye imgp8078 A Jeep hangs around outside the town hall imgp8079 The fabric shop has a crown as a memorial imgp8081 New houses go up down Dove Lane imgp8082 There's a little shopping trolley in a skip imgp8085 Quite a lot of render has fallen off the pharmacy imgp8086 We wander past the Jeep imgp8087 There's still a working phone in the K6 box
