title	The Demolition of Park Road, Diss, Norfolk - 1st February 2025
intro	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 a new Aldi and car park, and John Grose - formerly Mereside Ford, Sheffield Garner and Chitty's before that - 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.
