An Art Deco pub in Great Yarmouth has been given Grade II-listed status by the government, as reported in the Eastern Daily Press., external

It has been listed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport after it was recommended for protection by Historic England because it is "an increasingly rare example of a well-preserved inter-war pub".

A Historic England spokeswoman said: "The Iron Duke’s Art Deco style, curved frontages and flat roofs, is visually striking and architectural elements such as the fluted columns are unusual and quirky.

"Inside the Iron Duke, historic internal fixtures and fittings can still be seen, illustrating the original design, and the layout survives in its original configuration; a vestibule leading into a large open plan lounge bar and saloon bar."

She said the pub was the work of architect Arthur W Ecclestone, whose other buildings include The Clipper Schooner in Yarmouth (1938), the Links Hotel in Gorleston (1939) and The Norman in Lowestoft.

Further details have been released about a crash on the B1106 in Elveden in the early hours of this morning, in which a female airman from RAF Lakenheath died.

She was alone in the car.

The road was closed while a police investigation was carried out, but has now reopened.

A 50-year-old man from Great Yarmouth has admitted four counts of attempting to groom young girls on the internet.

Kevin Ward, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to using internet chat rooms in October this year to groom four children for sexual activity.

He has been remanded Ward in custody at Norwich Crown Court.

He will return on 12 January for sentencing and was detained "because of the risk" he posed, Judge Katherine Moore said.

It's not often you put your hand in a sewage tank and come out with something cute, but that's exactly what happened to one water company worker when he saved a baby otter from drowning.

The tiny 1.2kg (2lb 10oz) pup had fallen 4.5m (15ft) into a storm tank at the sewage works near Stowmarket in Suffolk on 1 November, and could not get out.

Luckily Anglian Water technician Steve Pearce spotted him, scooped him out and called the RSPCA.

The otter was covered in sewage and close to death, the charity said.

Three weeks later, the pup is recovering well at the RSPCA's wildlife centre in East Winch, Norfolk and Mr Pearce went along earlier this week to meet him.

The company has made a donation to the charity to help buy the unnamed otter "lots of his favourite food - trout", Mr Pearce said.

The centre's manager, Alison Charles (who you can see in the Anglian Water video below talking about the otter), said he is doing well, has doubled his weight and will soon be transferred to a specialist rehabilitation facility in the New Forest, to prepare him for life back in the wild.

UK Power Networks, external said a fault on an overhead power line at about 03:40 caused a power cut.

At lunchtime, about 100 customers were still without power, down from nearly 500 earlier.

The firm estimates power should be restored by early evening.

A ceremony to mark the region's newest wind farm has taken place today in Great Yarmouth.

The Dudgeon farm, external, which went on stream earlier this year, is expected to generate enough energy to power 410,000 homes for the next 25 years.

This farm, which has 67 turbines, lies about 20 miles off the coast of Norfolk and cost £1.25bn to build.

The majority of the largest wind farms in the world are off the East Anglia coast, according to the East of England Energy Group, external.

The chancellor is giving £98m towards a new river crossing for Great Yarmouth.

The treasury says the money will "alleviate congestion and stimulate growth" in the town.

Studies suggest that the new bridge could be worth £1.5bn to the local economy over a 20-year period.

The new bridge will cross the River Yare at South Town road. Plans are already quite advanced, and even though more money will need to be raised, I am being told that the bridge could be open as early as 2022.

As always on Budget day, most of what is announced is big picture stuff. We'll find out how the extra money for things like the NHS and helping research and development is allocated in the weeks to come.

Like many other people in the country we will benefit from the increase in tax thresholds and the minimum wage. People on Universal Credit will welcome the tweaks to the system.

But in the east of England, the main story is infrastructure.

A third river crossing for Great Yarmouth will make a big difference to getting around the town, but it will also encourage business growth.

The pledge to complete the Oxford to Cambridge rail link by 2025 and the Oxford to Cambridge expressway by 2030 means that the dreams of trouble free east-west travel could be close to coming true.

And the offer of £1bn of low interest loans for councils to fund local infrastructure projects is likely to be taken up by many of our authorities, who're desperate to build bypasses.

The freeze in fuel duty will also go down well in a region where we have a lot of hauliers and the extra funding for maths and science teaching is likely to be taken up in Norfolk and Suffolk, where standards have been low.

But there was nothing to help local councils or the police with their funding crises and no concrete promises on public sector pay.

The chancellor has gone some way to making life better in the region. But he could have done more.

The chancellor gives funding for the long-awaited Great Yarmouth crossing between Harfreys Industrial Estate and South Denes Road.

Standing alongside the chancellor when he poses for the cameras with his red box will be the MP for South West Norfolk, Elizabeth Truss.

As chief secretary to the treasury she will have played a key role in drawing up today's budget. It will have also been her job to persuade government departments to cut their budgets.

A former agriculture and justice secretary, her move to the treasury without a department to run was seen by some as a demotion.

But she is now second in charge at the treasury. If today's budget goes down well she will be able to bask in the praise, but if it doesn't it might not just be Philip Hammond worrying about his future.
