HISTORICAL BUILDINGS
| In recent years the Watton Society has instigated the 'Green Plaque' scheme, to identify buildings of historical significance in the town. As so often happens, buildings have changed their function over the years, and the original purpose is no longer evident. Refurbishment and alteration can disguise the true age of a building, and the Society wished to preserve the identity of such places for future generations. The Society is grateful to the present owners of the buildings who have co-operated by allowing the plaques to be displayed on their property. |

George had been actively involved in the re-siting and refurbishment of the weighbridge when its original site had become part of the Supermarket Car Park. |
