Hi all,

I'm not sure how many of you are interested in the history of East Anglia - but I'm looking for something and don't know where else to turn!

Years ago, monthly magazines called "East Anglian Magazine" used to come out. My dad really enjoys reading these now (dating back to 1950s and beyond!)

I get some on eBay for him from time to time. However, my dad is looking for a particular piece about Barbauld's school in Palgrave, Suffolk.

He believes this to be in a 1962 edition (could be wrong) but can't remember the month.

Sadly, eBay doesn't always show the contents pages from the magazines and I have spent a good few hours looking for this specific issue with no luck.

Any EA history enthusiasts out there who could help?

Many thanks

Just wanted to check what taxi service to use in King's Lynn late at night/early morning? Does Uber work? Thanks

I am considered visiting East Anglia this summer. Have visited other parts of UK already.

I am the most interested in Cambridge, the cathedrals in Ely and Peterborough, Norwich, Castle Rising, Castle Acre Priory, Cromer and Sheringham.

Can even consider Bury St. Edmunds, King’s Lynn and Sandringham, Duxford Imperial War Museum, Framlingham Castle, Southwold and Aldeburgh.

Any other suggestions?

I am also thinking of the best places to stay. I am considering of staying in both Cambridge and Norwich, and maybe somewhere along Suffolk coast. Does it sound OK? Or just focus on one place to stay during the whole trip, even if it would mean longer day trips in some cases?

Should I use public transport at times? Like when travelling from Cambridge to Ely or Norwich? I am probably going to take the train while travelling between Cambridge and Stansted airport anyway. Or should I hire a car during the whole stay? I was thinking of combining public transportation and car hire, but it’s maybe a bad idea.

I read (somewhere today) that the conditions are currently good for fen skating, because we have recently had significant flooding, and now it's been followed by a cold snap. And apparently that happens less often than you'd think. So, then I Googled Fen Skating and found this!

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best proper hot chocolate in norwich/norfolk? Ones made with real chocolate rather than powder. I’m talking that scene from the simpsons with creamy liquid chocolate

I’ve heard the hungry otter, urban bull lounge ( mix of real choc and powder ), aroma, kofra ( not sure if this is powder ) and walsingham farm shop do great ones
