Hoveton tea party!

Stores for Wroxham Launch Hire are carried across the River Bure on a dory boat.

With dozens of boat charter companies operating around the waterside in Hoveton and neighbouring Wroxham in the past, square punt boats were regularly paddled backwards and forwards doing errands. The original guise of Heather as a flush decked pontoon may have been used in a similar vain as a victualling supply vessel.
