The Quiet Life still
Very still in fact. The telephone box and signpost are still here with not so much traffic or people on this dank afternoon. Rural Norfolk at its best.

The Quiet Life
It's not often you see old signposts in place. Nearby is another fading part of our culture - a telephone box (intact and functional, no less!). This spot, opposite the National Trust's Bale Oaks and Bale Church, is reminiscent of the comparatively untouched parts of rural Norfolk that still exist down winding country lanes.

Bale village sign
The sign is all about the Bale Oak which once stood in the village. The tree measured 36 feet in circumference, was over 500 years old. The upper part of the sign depicts the Bale oak. Francis Blomefield wrote: “its hollow so large that ten or twelve men may stand within it and a cobbler had his shop and lodge there of late and it is or was used for a swinestry.” (pig sty), both of which are depicted. Other details in the post include references to the local trades and agriculture. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2264768
