Unfortunately the web site is out of date as "Pop" moved from Rushall to new premises in Lowestoft earlier this year.I cannot find his new phone no/address at the moment but will supply as soon as I can. Meanwhile perhaps one of the Norfolk clubs can help regarding his exact whereabouts?

Norwich Road Industrial Estate
Norwich Road
Lowestoft

That postcode can't be right - NR35 2BN is just down the road from me in a village called Topcroft, about 25 miles away from Lowestoft. More like NR32 2BS, as that's the industrial estate on Norwich Road.

The Postcode is exactly as quoted in an E-mail from them received this week..
but having checked it out with the Royal Mail postcode search Dryad , I agree with you.It looks like a "typo error "
on their part.

Odd, I bought loads of bits from Pops Place and always found him to be extremely helpful and far more realistically priced than many. If calling in person, then a cup of tea or coffee was always on offer. I lost conact after he moved to Lowestoft. Much missed.

Dick is still around although he has retired from servicing and repair work. He still has lots of spares and had a stall at Kelmarsh and Peterborough BMC Day this year.
