During the early 1920s, Broad Street was a busy part of Reading, bustling with cars, trams and shoppers.

Caption For Salhouse, Boats On Salhouse Broad C1940

Woodland surrounds many of the broads in the upper stretches of the Bure, providing shelter and seclusion for these early cabin cruisers. The thick reed beds obscure the exact edge of the land.

Caption For Hastings, The Beach 1925

On a clear day, Eastbourne may be seen to the west across Pevensey Bay from Hastings Pier and the sea front. To the east are clear views to the broad peninsula of Dungeness.

Wroxham is at the western gateway to the Broads, and profited greatly from the late 19th-century boom in 'messing about in boats'.

A short flight in this light aircraft, even just a few hundred feet up, would give the sightseeing holidaymaker a marvellous view of both the coastline and the Broads inland.

Caption For St Helens, The Green C1955

Many come to admire the broad village green, the leafy lanes and nearby woodland. There are places to explore, or you can just sit quietly and admire the scenery.

Unlike most broads, Ormesby is accessible by road rather than river and preserves a quietness not usually found during holiday periods.

Caption For Wroxham, Cross Roads C1940
