Holidays
I can remember coming into Diss station (1953 onwards) as if it was yesterday. I and my family came up from West Ewell, Surrey to stay with my aunt and uncle at Redgrave every year for our school summer holiday. My cousins and my sister Julie and I were taken to Diss every week, but on two of these occasions we were taken to the pictures which was a great joy to us all, on the way home we would have a big bag of chips each. I came up to Diss in 2009 and new super markets have taken over the loveliest little town. They say you shouldn't go back don't they, but my family originate from Wortham, so you can't stop it calling to you, can you. My mother's maiden name is Jolly.

RE: RE: Holidays
I visited Diss many times during the early-mid 1980s to stay with my friends who ran The Cherry Tree pub on Roydon Road. I would arrive at Diss station and take the mile walk into town - it was a good excuse to stretch my legs, following the long journey down from Leeds. I remember the supermarket being built at the bottom of Mere Street and the Masefield Estate going up off Victoria Road. Happy Memories here too!
