Nice quiet part of town. Great statue to sit with.
What a wonderful Statue. My husband made Joneses van during lock down, out of old pushchair and bits in his shed. He brought it along to photograph with Captain Mainwaring
Very finely detailed sculpture of Captain Mainwaring, that's a must see for any fan of 'Dad's Army'. The cast of the show were always accommodated in Thetford while filming on location, so many of them would have been familiar with this spot. The spectacles & expression on Arthur Lowe's face are truly life-like...
Really great to see this statue of Captain Mainwaring in Thetford (Walmington-on-Sea) opposite the Bell Hotel. Worth a visit to sit beside this remarkable character.
If you are a 'Dad's Army' fan, then a visit to Thetford (the fictitious Walmington on Sea) is a must. The park river and woodland in the heart of the town is beautiful with level walks. Well worth a few days stay or longer if you intend visiting nearby attractions or Norwich ,Norfolk Broads. Highly recommended.
A MOST LIFELIKE SEATED STATUE OF CAPTAIN MAINWARING AND SITUATED ON A PAVED UNION JACK ARROW JUST LIKE THE OPENING SEQUENCE OF DAD`S ARMY. A BRILLIANT ADDITION TO THETFORD`S CONNECTIONS WITH THE LOVABLE SITCOM.
A nice little area to seat and watch the world go by. You can sit next to captain mainwaring
The statue is very well done and he sits on a bench at the head of the arrow that used to be on the beginning. For me and my sister it was like sitting with our father has he looked just like him. I just wish he was facing the other way instead of them new modern buildings.
