Libra in Wickham Market closed in 2009 after serving the town for twelveLibra in Wickham Market years, we can just about remember it being something else before that ... Magpie?  Owner Jane Hughes has sent a memoir of those 12 years, perhaps it's a warning to others that she thinks pay parking was probably the final straw.

Wickham Market 1905Roundabout 1995 the pillarbox in the Wickham Market post office's car park moved from the far side to sensibly by the post office entrance.  We were told the box had been on the other side because the house on that side had been the post office.  This card posted in 1905 shows that at the beginning of the 20th century the PO was opposite The George.

Wickham Market Resource CentreThe Wickham Market Resource Centre is not  as difficult to find as Radio Suffolk but it is a bit hidden away.  We went there for a retinal scan yesterday and discovered it's a pleasantly straight forward, clean building with disabled access and a library stuffed with books, PCs, DVDs and talking books.  The library is about eight times the size it was when in that flint stone shed across the road that is now the vets ... but it still doesn't seem to open that much.

Here's Green beads defying gravitya great freemans from the Wickham Market dentist.  It's a two minute egg timer to encourage proper teeth cleaning by children, but when you turn it upside down instead of sand falling from the top to the bottom the tiny green beads bubble up from the bottom to the top!  To get one we had to lie and say it was for our niece, actually it wasn't lying, she will get it ... eventually.
