More about this scene

There has been a ferry between Southwold and Walberswick since at least the 13th century. The River Blyth Ferry Company was established in 1885 to provide a chain ferry to carry vehicles across the river. This was later replaced by a steam ferry which continued until 1942. This view shows the ferry at its mooring, awaiting custom. In the distance is the tower of Walberswick church, built in 1426.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Walking with Bob my border collie through the salt marshes and dunes. Listening to the birds in the marshes and trying not to get lost! Keeping Bob away from people as he's a very cautious rescued border collie. The sense of peace whenever I have returned here. Now sadly without my dearest brave Bob but always remembered.
