Seems like a few retiring this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 That looks like it could be a nice little set up. Will need a bit of investment to get it up to scratch and ready for letting but it does look like it has the potential to be a nice little earner that one. I like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQ Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I've noticed an out break of "for Sale" boards, I suspect a lot are trying to sell / move just as the restrictions end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessan Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I wonder how much of that development is actually near the water? I remember it as being set quite far back and isn’t that Repps staithe in the foreground? Having read through, it does say set a few hundred metres from the river but I guess it’s close enough to be an attractive proposition.

marshman Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I should think "a bit of investment" is something of an understatement if you really want to appeal to todays holidaymakers!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnoar Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Handy for the windmill museum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Like many others I suspect, I actually had to look it up on the internet to see what Turnoar was on about!! Hardly going to be a major attraction if even locals don't know about it!!!! Thats no reflection on the people who run it but merely an indication how hard it is to get these ventures off the ground and to keep going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyg Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Would make a nice little residential mobile home park, weather there would be any money to be made after the investment was made is a different thing I guess. We have some nice residential parks in our area, they seem to be growing in popularity and not cheap to buy into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you marshman I am local but if I hadn’t spun past them on my bike I would probably not have known about it either. The guide to uncommon British days out will probably pick it up next update but in the meantime I recommend it to all wherever you may holiday! This attraction would be right up there with the lawnmower museum, Cumberland pencil museum, secret nuclear bunker (signposted off the A12) etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 who would ever think of hiding a secret nuclear bunker in Norfolk, mind you I suppose even if the locals had talked about it, nobody would have understood a word. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdnamsGirl Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 The Wind Energy Museum at Repps with Bastwick is a little gem and well worth a visit when they reopen. It was put together by Bob Morse, who also bought and restored Thurne Dyke Mill back in the late 1940s. https://windenergymuseum.co.uk/ Carol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuclear hasn’t made it to Norfolk yet, not exactly sure where the secret bunker is other than somewhere in Kleveland Hatch, on the country lane between Chipping Ongar and Brentwood under the 1950s farm bungalow postcode CM14 5TL. Norfolk does or did have Tussauds house of wax listed though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as hard to find as the bunker. 🤦♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
