Captain Mainwaring and the Anchor Hotel
Captain Mainwaring - or at least his bronze statue by Sean Hedges-Quinn - sits forlornly outside the derelict Anchor Hotel. The Anchor Hotel has been closed for several years now while controversy rages as to what should be done with the site, yet it has a unique connection with the statue; scenes from the very first episode of Dad's Army were shot here.

Once the ancient capital of East Anglia, Thetford is a market town established at a crossing of the River Little Ouse. A major centre of Boudica’s Iceni tribe with an Iron Age fort. Later came a Norman castle and an important priory. Thetford is the birthplace of 18th century radical Thomas Paine, whose thinking encouraged American independence and the abolition of slavery. After World War II, Thetford became an "overspill town", taking people from London.
