A community watched as a former floating restaurant was removed from a town’s river, as part of plans to make the area more attractive. The 56ft long boat formerly known Jolios restaurant was removed from the little Ouse river in Thetford’s town centre on Wednesday September 1. This comes after the boat went up for auction on June 16 with Auction House East Anglia and was subsequently purchased by Breckland Council - who planned to have it removed and scrapped.
