Herons’ History

We have found out how important the rivers were to Norfolk in the past as transport routes were very poor with marshy ground and not many roads and no trains at first.  We found out about trading wherries that then became part of the tourist industry.  We were treated to a visit by the Norfolk Wherry Trust who look after Albion, one of the last trading wherries. They sang  wherry shanties and told us about life aboard a wherry a hundred years ago.  We used photographs to find out more evidence about the Norfolk broads in the past.
