Thetford and Brandon landmark depicted in Christmas cards
A RIVER that runs for 23 rural miles and connects Thetford and Brandon has been chosen as the centrepiece for a charity Christmas card.
Winter images of the Little Ouse in both towns adorn the front of the festive cards produced by St Nicholas Hospice Care this year.
The cards - which also include beautiful winter scenes of all the towns where the Hospice has retail shops - are now out on sale with all proceeds made going to the charity and its Community Nurse Appeal run in conjunction with the Times.
Retail manager Mark Lees said: “We have chosen the scenes very carefully as we wanted to pay tribute to the heritage of each town where we run our successful shops.
“The Little Ouse is a beautiful landmark in both Thetford and Brandon and we are very proud to have a festive scene of it on the front of this year's Christmas cards.
