More about this scene
On the River Bure, Coltishall is a picturesque place and an important centre for building the famous Norfolk wherry. Thomas Wright was a well-known boat builder, and so were Allen's, who considered their designs to be the quickest on the Broads. The height of the mast can clearly be seen on the moored wherry on the right of the picture; it would have to be laid flat to negotiate the many low road bridges on the Broads.
