Good point - if it fails to sell I will take the rack off and sell it
separately. Bidding ends today so get your bids in ........

Coming out of Wymondham towards Ashwellthorpe there's the antidote to
that, Rightup Lane.

Where I used to live (-ish) there was a Hanging Hill Lane.

Now, and on a similar theme, there's a Bungaygrave Lane.

The former is more-or-less self-explanatory, as is the second when you
know that a 'Bungay' was the South Norfolk slang for a highwayman.

Until Dutch Elm disease (1980s) put paid to the tree on the crossroads,
the gibbet was still fixed there, on high.

They dew say he roides parst there on a moonlit noight, 'bor.

It sold just on the reserve for 900, only 4 bidders but 129 watchers.
Must be a load of Bantam nuts out there watching the market.
