Stokesby, A Wherry On The River Bure c.1940

More about this scene
A magnificent photograph of a trading wherry, with its square black sail and tall mast, on the Bure near Stokesby. The wide-hulled, shallow-draught boat was ideal for transporting goods up from Yarmouth. Only one original wherry remains, though replicas are now in use. Norfolk reeds are growing on the left of the river, while the right side shows the flat Halvergate marshes.
