The brother of a man killed in a car accident 30 years ago is calling on the good folk of Norwich to help try and find a memorial bench installed in his name.

On March 31, 1993, Godfrey Webber - known as Goff - was killed while driving from Norwich to Diss aged 38 years old.

In memory of her son Goff's late mum, Evelyn, purchased a seat in his name to commemorate his life, which was placed in the grounds of a college in Norwich.

Unfortunately after nearly 30 years the family, who live in Bournemouth, are unable to find the bench. 

Howard Webber, Goff's brother, is hoping the people of Norwich can help track it.

The only evidence of it's whereabouts is a picture taken in 1994 when Evelyn visited the city.

"My eldest daughter went to Norwich recently to try and look for it but was unsuccessful - she came back very disappointed.

"Goff was a very special person to many people in Norwich.

"People held him in such high regard when they talked about him and how selfless he was, so it would be amazing to find the little memorial my mum had made for him."

Goff went to the UEA and loved the city so much he made it his home, training to teach English as a second language.

Finding the memorial bench would mean a lot for the family.

Howard added: "I'd love to be able to find the bench - Goff made such a big impact on the city while he was there."
