Summer Days Boating On The Lake
Wonderful memories this photo brings back. In the 1950's after school we would take girls out in the boats...then eat ice cream with soft drinks from the Grange cafe. Beddinton Park and the Grange were the best of times for young romance in the summer. Ron Shelley

The Boating Pool
The boating pool at Shoebury Common was a must visit every weekend I was there. In later years they had canoes and we used to sit up on the top of the canoe at the back and not in the cockpit. Never fell in though. Would ...Read more

A favourite pub for many years, the Pleasure Boat Inn these days is the starting point for a water trail which visits the reed beds which make this part of the Norfolk Broads an important wildlife habitat
On the River Bure, Coltishall is a picturesque place and an important centre for building the famous Norfolk wherry.
This beautifully-designed broads cruiser is typical of those provided by the holiday companies, who have already expanded into huge businesses.
Southend The Boating Beach
The Fleet Dyke flows from the River Bure to South Walsham Broad. A break in the storm cloud allows the evening sun to cast shadows on the rippling water, a sight not uncommon on the Broads.
The thatcher's craft is one of the staple industries of broads villages. This photograph shows reeds growing at the edge of a broad, with the cut stalks stacked by the cottage.
The Broads The 'Silver Swallow'
A small broad off the busy river Bure, Salhouse in 1902 displayed the tranquillity of the English countryside beloved by Victorian artists.
The Eels Foot Inn now dispenses refreshments to visitors after their row on the broad. The ladies' headwear is typical of the early 1930s, and short skirts were in vogue.
The crew of a Sheringham crab boat pose for the camera. These clinker built, double-ended open boats were approximately 18ft long and carried a dipping lug sail of up to 120 sq ft.
The boat we saw in photograph No M32031R is now seen climbing the 5 locks at Tyrley.
Though the Broads are wild and empty places of sweeping skies and wind-blown marshes, the traveller by boat is never far from history.
Broad Street hints at Ottery's original Saxon street layout.
As we return to Broad Street we see the huge building on the right, the former McIlroys, opened in 1903 and known locally as Reading's Crystal Palace for its huge shop windows.
Southend The Boating Beach
Set a short distance away from the Cromer to Norwich road, Aldborough offers a spacious prospect with cottages grouped round a broad green.
Oulton was another of the series of medieval broads stretching northward into Norfolk.
To the right, behind the flagpole is the Life Boat House, designed by Charles H Cooke and opened in 1878. The building was enclosed by a fence to protect it from damage by cattle.
The boat we saw in photograph M32031R (No 33) is now seen climbing the 5 locks at Tyrley.
The Boat House Inn ferry offered a more sedate way of crossing the Severn than by the nearby Kingsland Bridge.
This building stands at the northern end of The Parade; it was built in 1926 on the site of a former coaching inn, the Pengwern Arms, which had to be demolished in 1885 following storm damage.
Trees shade the broad square. The street is a pleasing mix of Victorian shops and modern infill.
Moving east along B-roads zig-zagging through the Fens, we reach Long Sutton. This market town is noted for its rare 13th-century lead spire and late Norman nave.
As you can see from this picture, Broad Street is anything but. Fortunately, it has now been pedestrianised.
