Michael's Blog

This is my new Google blog, the old one is now set to be read by me only. This blog will have a lot less about work & I hope can not offended anyone at National Express or any other evil coach company's.

John Betjeman Something About Diss (Norfolk) Part 2


Something about Diss by John Betjeman

John Betjeman's documentary "Something About Diss" offers a unique perspective on the town of Diss, Norfolk. The film, shot in 1964, showcases the architectural and cultural landmarks of Diss, including the Jolly Porters, the tar refinery, the gas works, and the Mere. Betjeman's tour highlights the various ages of the buildings, from Victorian Villas to medieval houses, and includes a visit to St. Mary's Church and the Corn Hall. The film also addresses the impact of urban development and warns against using Diss for housing the London overspill. It is a valuable resource for understanding the history and evolution of Diss over the years.
