Do you have transport issues travelling by car, bus, train, plane or ferry?
A new web site, Fix My Transport, launched recently. They aim to assist transport users by helping you report issues; finding the right transport operator to report to; and help collate similar issues so that problems can be resolved more easily.
Little Thetford residents who use the local bus service may like to remember this site.
This site, fixmytransport.com, sent to us by Kat Dunseath. Thank you Kat.
The village feast was held annually in July.
Originally it was held in the field known as Camping Close which was situated behind Grey Gables. At the time the field was used by Mr Ralph Kisby, he kept his cattle there. This land now forms the gardens of the houses on the north side of the Wyches. Later, the feast moved to Cranwells field on the opposite side of the Wyches. This land is now built on with the Cowslip Drive development, which appropriately contains Cranwells Way.
Pictures below show large attendances with a marquee in the background. Events included a sports day and there were side shows and other stalls. Bert Russell remembers that there was bowling for a live pig and that Selwyn Cross ran the roll-a-penny stall. Ice cream was also available.
We have no evidence of a competitive show but, given the size of the marquee, it is possible that it housed one.
The Feast ceased at the outbreak of the second world war.
