Total eclipse to come in Old Buckenham

But not until 2151
There has been plenty written lately about the solar eclipse that will take place during the morning of Friday 20 March. It is only a partial eclipse in this part of the country but in future there will be a total solar eclipse right here in Old Buckenham.
It’s beyond all our lifetimes (unless there are some huge medical advances in the near future) but in 2151 the centre of a total solar eclipse scores a direct hit on Old Buckenham.

All the details are given at:

This includes a clickable, zoomable map which, if you can manage to navigate your way around, plots the path of the total eclipse right across what is now the Old Buckenham Cricket Club ground. But what will be there in 2151 is anyone's guess.
