Canal Ferry Ferryman Lock Norfolk Norwich Pulls
EDITORS COMMENTS
A tranquil scene from the 1910s in Pulls Ferry, Norwich, Norfolk, England. The photograph captures the serene beauty of the historic ferry crossing, which once connected the two banks of the River Wensum. The image showcases a traditional ferryboat, skillfully maneuvered by a local ferryman, as it carries a horse-drawn cart and its passengers across the river. The wooden planks of the boat creak gently under the weight, while the calm waters reflect the vibrant colors of the autumnal foliage along the banks. The lock in the background adds to the industrial charm of the scene, with its tall brick walls and large metal gates. The lock was an essential part of the Norfolk and Broadlands Canal system, which connected the River Wensum with the River Yare and provided a vital transportation route for goods and people. The quaint, rustic charm of Pulls Ferry was a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, offering a glimpse into the past and a chance to experience the simple pleasures of rural life. The ferryman, dressed in traditional clothing, expertly navigates the boat through the water, demonstrating the skill and knowledge passed down through generations. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, is a precious reminder of a bygone era, when life moved at a slower pace and the natural beauty of the countryside was a source of inspiration and relaxation. The image invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of the past and the enduring charm of the English countryside.
