‘Sand Castle’ sign


THE .“sand castle’’ on the franking slogan, as it was des­ cribed in last week’s letters to the Editor, is in fact part of the town’s Coat of Arms, Mr. John Cowdall, the town clerk, told the Advertiser and Times this week.

THE news that Vale House in the centre of the village is shortly to be demolished, was received with regret by many residents.
