More about this scene

This view shows Southwold harbour on the other side of the river, with sailing craft, repair shops and landing stages. The river could be crossed by a rowing boat ferry, which replaced a Victorian steam ferry, after the Second World War. A hut very similar to this one, but at Waldringfield, was offered for sale as a holiday home in 2002 for £60,000.

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.
