East is Best


There’s a town in mid-Norfolk called Dereham. Actually, to keep pedantry at bay I should say it’s officially called East Dereham. 
It’s 15 miles from the City of Norwich, 25 miles from the port of Kings Lynn, and has a population of about 16,000. It was bombed by a Zeppelin during World War One, it’s twinned with towns in both France and Germany, and Stephen Fry got married there in January 2015. It was the site of a monastery in the 7th Century, it’s close to a Museum of Rural Life, and is the headquarters of the Mid-Norfolk Railway. 
Anyway, to get to the point, I was there today for inexplicable work-related reasons, and I have to say that Dereham Memorial Hall has some of the finest toilets I’ve visited in my life.
