THE IRON DUKE
The Iron Duke is a Grade II listed Art Deco pub with a fascinating history. The pub was the work of architect Arthur W. Ecclestone, who was responsible for designing several other notable buildings in the local area including the The Clipper Schooner in Great Yarmouth (1938) and the Never Turn Back in Caister (1956).
The pub was built for Lacons Brewery which was based in Great Yarmouth, and at its height produced 25 million pints of beer a year, had 300 pubs throughout East Anglia and 50 in London. It closed in 1968, but the name has recently been revived by a local brewer operating on a much smaller scale. The use of the falcon in relief panels and sculptural decoration on Lacons establishments became an instantly recognisable image for local people.
Construction began in the late 1930s but was halted due to the outbreak of the Second World War. Despite being incomplete, it was granted a licence in 1940 to serve the soldiers manning anti-aircraft guns on North Denes. Building work was completed in 1948. The pub's counters are made from teak from Admiral Jellicoe’s Dreadnought Battleship, HMS Iron Duke (1912). This was the flagship of the Grand Fleet which led the British fleet in the Battle of Jutland, from which the pub takes its name.
The pub has been vacant since 2008 but in December 2020 Great Yarmouth Borough Council agreed a loan enabling Great Yarmouth Preservation Trust to purchase the building. We have undertaken emergency repairs to ensure the building is wind- and water-tight and are in the process of developing a scheme of repair and sustainable reuse.

Plans to restore a Grade II listed pub back to its 1930s heyday have been submitted for more grant funding.
The Great Yarmouth Preservation Trust (GYPT) wants to reopen the now-derelict Iron Duke pub in the seaside Norfolk town.
The charity has already been handed nearly £300,000 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, but it applied for a second round of funding on Thursday.
"This is an extraordinarily exciting project which will see a fascinating and beautiful building brought back to life," said Bernard Williams, chairman of GYPT.
"The robust and thorough approach to the development period has left no stone unturned.
"There have been extensive below-ground surveys, historic paint analysis; even unexploded bomb surveys.
"All this work, together with the sensitive architectural design work and business planning, will help get the building restored and back in use."
According to The Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain (SAHGB), external, the pub was granted a special licence so it could serve locally stationed troops during World War Two.
The pub reopened its doors to the public in 1948, but was boarded up by its former owner in 2007 - the SAHGB said.
GYPT purchased the building in February 2021 and hopes to reopen by 2026.
Carl Smith, the Conservative leader of Great Yarmouth Borough Council, said the local authority was pleased to lend its support to "such an ambitious vision".
The charity and its commercial partner, Zaks, want a pub and restaurant inside what would be an art deco-style building, as well as two holiday flats.
GYPT said it would submit applications for planning permission and listed building consent next week.
However, plans for the Iron Duke have been opposed by the group, Campaign for Pubs.
It said it wanted the pub reinstated as a "traditional pubic house with its original features restored".
In a statement, the group added: "Our view of the Iron Duke is that the pub's location, at the northern end of North Denes, is in an area served by very few public houses and we would expect that the seaside holiday trade coupled with the local population would take advantage of the pub should it be recommissioned."

duke was all bouncy bouncy bouncing all excited to go out and not paying attention to where he was going. And he kinda impaled his ass on the corner of the coffee table. He let out the most pitiful little yelp then looked at me as if i'd kicked him or something. A little later on i noticed at a distance how sore and bruised it looked... so i did what any good mom would do and pinned him down to get a supermacro shot of his asshole.
(in this picture i had him pinned on my lap and had to pry his tail up... I rotated the pic so that the veiw in the pic is pretty much what you'd see if he was trotting around with his tail in the air, as he is known to do)

A daguerreotype of the aged Duke of Wellington in 1844 taken just a few years after the invention of photography. The kindly features of the Duke in old age belie his record as a tough soldier who lived through the French Revolution, the British wars in India and the Napoleonic Wars, leading his soldiers to defeat Mysore, the Marathas and the French - and living long enough afterwards for his image to be captured during the early days of photography.
Duke was a family member of mine from 2007 to 2020. He was always an elegant gentleman who trusted everyone he met.
I will miss him forever.
Recently I found this amazing wool felt artist who takes commissions. I sent her over 30+ photos of Duke, and she didn't let me down. She successfully reproduced a miniature version of him.
Now he came back to me with his iconic smile. My Jerryberry would make company with him. None of us would feel lonely ever again.

Members of Durham's fire department carry a "victim" to a decontaminating mist zone during an emergency response training at Duke University May 17.
About 60 members from the Duke University Police Department, Duke University Health System, Durham fire and EMS and the local Red Cross gathered in the Blue Zone parking lots near Wallace Wade Stadium to conduct the full-scale drill. Together, the crews responded to a fictitious accident involving exposure to organic phosphate chemicals that spilled from a pesticide truck.
EMS responders treated accident "victims," some of which were actors pretending to show symptoms like abdominal pain and vomiting. Crews also used three inflatable mannequins to simulate proper care for a victim exposed to chemicals. Fire department members worked to decontaminate victims by moving them on a stretcher through misting water. The mock patients were then transported to Duke University Hospital, Durham Regional Hospital and the Durham VA Medical Center as part of the four-hour exercise. The Durham City/County Local Emergency Planning Committee sponsored the exercise.
This is either Doc or Duke - I can't remember which side they were hitched on! :P He was our carriage horse in Ocala.
Doc and Duke are in the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie!

Duke Street Crossing signal box located by the Down Main line alongside Duke Street level crossing in Southport. Friday 18th January 1991
Duke Street signal box was a Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company standard design fitted with a 12 lever Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company Tappet frame that opened in 1921 replacing an 1878-built Saxby & Farmer signal box located on the opposite side of the level crossing. The signal box was reduced to a non block post controlling the adjacent level crossing only on 14th June 1953 when the absolute block section was extended to between Southport South and Birkdale signal boxes. The level crossing gates were replaced by manned barriers on 22nd April 1990. The signal box was closed at 19:00 on 11th March 1994 and was demolished almost immediately although officially abolished on 21st March 1994 when control of the level crossing passed to Merseyrail signal box by means of closed circuit television
The signal box carries a London Midland & Scottish Railway Company post-1935 design nameboard

Photo Description: The Career Center is fortunate to have approximately 30 student leaders who volunteer on our Career Ambassador Team. CATs make a campus-wide impact by providing guidance to their peers, creating and sustaining campus and external partnerships, serving as career development role models, encouraging reflection and exploration, and connecting students with resources for success in their professional endeavors. The CATs are directly advised by three staff members, Ali Hardy, Anne Lyford, and Samara Reynolds. They are also supported and utilized all year long by different Career Center staff members, including designated career advising mentors. This photo was taken last week at our CAT End-of-Year Banquet, where we celebrated the accomplishments and contributions of the Career Ambassador Team. Anne, Ali, and Samara can be seen in this photo, along with the majority of this year's amazing CATs.
