Ancient King's Staithe, home of Wroxham Launch Hire lined with pennants ~ set up using friendly cooperation between riverside businesses
Hoveton~Wroxham is decorated with red, white and blue and other paraphernalia for the Coronation of King Charles III ~ the first King crowned since 1937. Seventy years previously preparations were underway for young Queen Elizabeth's anointing.
Flying colourful flags were formerly characteristic of the riverside. Boatyard and outlets along the streets and byways of Hoveton and adjoining Wroxham all had their own identity. They were both marketing tools and helped to indicate wind direction, which is very important when navigating boats.
