THE road to Newmarket, Thetford, Norwich, and Cromer is 132 miles in
length, if you go direct from the old starting-points, Shoreditch or
Whitechapel churches. If, on the other hand, you elect to follow the
route of the old Thetford and Norwich Mail, which turned off just
outside Newmarket from the direct road through Barton Mills, and went
instead by Bury St. Edmunds, it is exactly seven miles longer to
Thetford and all places beyond.
