Riverbanks below Wroxham Bridge around a century ago.
Laying by Loynes natural looking quay is a pleasure wherry houseboat with a Horning Town Sailing Club pennant fluttering on the bows.
Granary Staithe is a hive of activity with rustic timber buildings ~ Mr Stringer's bicycle shop and Chamberlins store stands by the incline of the bridge, while Landamores boat station is beside the dyke. Note that the cabins are piled high up in order to counter flood tides.
This wonderful archive image can be seen at The WatersEdge Restaurant & Bar.
There is a great range of places to eat and drink in Hovetom and Wroxham ~ each with their character.
