This Blue Plaque spotted en route Prince of Wales Road. There are 39 succinct and informative Blue Plaques researched by Nick Williams in Norwich. Besides this plaque there's another Norwich-Beatles connection. Pablo Fanque who was born in Norwich in 1796 was the first Black Circus owner, an expert equestrian and a tightrope-walker. He is alluded to by John Lennon in 'Being for the benefit of Mr. Kite', a song on the mega-seminal pop album 'Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' of 1967.
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo Fanque's fair
But I just can't imagine today's music stars queuing up for chips with their fans.
