The Local Hero

The local hero is of course Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson, of Burnham Thorpe in Norfolk.

Victor of the Nile, Copenhagen and Trafalgar, Nelson is still seen as Norfolk's local hero across the county and indeed the road signs crossing the "border" proclaim that you are entering Nelson's County.

This old pub sign is to be found in the Fat Cat on West End Street in Norwich. Winner three times of the Good Pub Guide 'Beer Pub of the Year'.
