Giles cartoons appeared in the express . I used to get a book with the cartoons in at Christmas. Most didn't have words as the pictures told there own stories. The statue is one of the Giles characters . He was born in Ipswich and the council have done a good job.

The memorial is dedicated to all who served in the 7th Armoured Division (The Desert Rats), the 4th Armoured Brigade (The Black Rats) and the 7th Armoured Brigade (The Green Jerboa), throughout history. In 1944 the men of 7th Armoured Division (The Desert Rats) arguably one of the most famous units in the British Army was based here and in the nearby countryside and towns, before they left to take part in the Normandy Campaign, landing late on 6 June 1944. These few months are the only time the Desert Rats were ever in the UK. The Memorial and main plaque inaugurated on the 23rd October 1998 by Field Marshal Lord Carver is located on the A1065 two miles north of Mundford, Norfolk, England. The additional plaque commemorating the Desert Rats of the 4th & 7th Armoured Brigades from 1945 to 2003 was added to the plinth and inaugurated during the Open Day on the 27th June 2004. A new museum has just been opened.

Reaching almost fifty metres high, this column is found within an industrial estate a few minutes walk from Great Yarmouth seafront. There is a lot of Horatio Nelson related history in Norfolk (Burnham Thorpe being his birthplace) and this monument is listed as a Grade I structure. The tower is also known as Britannia Monument and the Norfolk Naval Pillar. At its top, it is embossed with a stone Britannia figurine. All in all, it is really a quite impressive monument that has stood since 1817.
9. Cardinal Thomas Wolsey statue
10. Kings Lynn Roll of Honour
