A statue from our brief visit to Thetford yesterday. The British sitcom “ Dad’s Army” was filmed in Thetford for quite a number of years. This statue of the character Captain Mainwaring, First time I have seen this, but it has been there since 2010!
Loved Captain Mainwaring! Loved all of them. Haven’t been in Thetford for over 30 years but must go back. Would love to see this statue and the museum.
@casablanca I think you might be disappointed with Thetford itself- we couldn’t believe how “ down& out” it looked! Lots of empty shops & gangs of kids hanging around the town centre ( not sure if it is my age that makes me feel intimidated by these gangs these days!) @rjb71 it is next to the river not far away from the green three pronged bridge & butten island.
@carole_sandford Oh what a terrible shame! Last time I was there, I was touring in a play and we performed there. I remember the village as being very pleasant indeed. I don't much like gangs around me either, you're not alone there! I shall have to go sometime and check it out. The museum really appeals to me, but the town is sounding less so.......
I didn’t know that statue was there either (may have drank with Arthur Lowe (and the other cast members) in a local establishment now and again)
