Wasnt there an earlier one found in Norfolk?

Some of the locals there had built a funny ramshackle structure, where they gather for ritual family humiliation ceremonies but is 'mysteriously' caught fire one evening

Doggerland never entirely disappeared under the North Sea; there are still remnants in Pipers Vale and under the Orwell Bridge on the west side. Just off the B1456. Mondays.

Its not my job to be defending Billy Joel, ( uptown girl is undefendable) but he never claimed to start the fire, just admitted to keeping it burning.
