More about this scene
Parts of this bridge may date from the 1670s, when the river was made navigable. The Borough of Thetford had the right of tolls until 1872 and was responsible for its repair until 1950. There was an extensive river trade in malt, corn, coal, gunflints and rabbit skins. The bridge was replaced in 1954. The Ouse River Hotel (centre right) was run by Arthur Rolph.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
We remember well Mr Arthur Harry Read telling us about his father Henry who was employed as gamekeeper at Brandon House. It was his inlaws who were last of the flintknappers. Henry was also gamekeeper at Kimberley Park, and raised his family in Thetford forest.
