In and Around Norfolk Industrial Archaeology in and around NORFOLK Industrial Archaeology in and around To write about the industrial archaeology of a rural county like Norfolk may seem somewhat perverse, especially to those from the major NORFOLK industrial areas of Britain. Norfolk, after all, lost its worsted industry to the steam mills of by David Alderton Yorkshire in the 1830s, and the county had no exploitable coal or mineral reserves to establish new heavy industries. However, such a view omits a number of factors. The purpose of this pamphlet is to draw attention Firstly, it is arguable that farming, and to some of the sites of industrial archaeological especially the high farming pioneered in interest to be seen on or near the main routes Norfolk by men like Coke of Holkham, should leading into East Anglia and particularly to be regarded as an industry. Certainly it Norwich. It includes museums which have required specialised buildings and increasingly substantial collections of industrial items and used new power sources and specialised preserved industrial buildings. The main criterion machinery to enhance production and reduce for selection has been accessibility: sites have labour demands. Many of the great estates only been included if they are open to the practised virtual self-sufficiency, with their public (though in some cases an appointment own water - supply (that at Houghton Hall is needed), or may be adequately viewed from a dates back to 1730), their own workshops, in- public right of way. Within this criterion, an cluding forges and foundries, their own brick- attempt has been made to cover a range of works and limekilns and eventually even their sites, but with some concentration on items own gas or electricity works. Secondly, which are especially well represented in East agriculture created demands of its own for Anglia. agricultural machinery and for fertilisers. The former was supplied by a multiplicity of foundries and workshops processing imported pig-iron, brought in by the coasters which took away grain. Some, like Burrells at Thetford, exported all over the world, others concentrated on local needs such as the demand for drainage mills and pumps in the Broads area met by Smith- dales of Panxworth and Acle. Some of the first factories in the world for the production of artificial fertilisers were built in East Anglia, like James Fison's plant at Two Mile Bottom near Thetford. Considerably earlier, the rural limekilns were supplying lime for dressing the land as well as building. There was also the need to process agricultural products: with East Anglia being a major barley-growing area, a considerable number of maltings were built, most especially where coal imported by rail or ill sea could be used to malt barley brought by m road or inland waterway, as at East Dereham or ing Yarmouth. Equally important were the steam roller mills which in the later 19th C began mp u replace the multitude of wind and p steadily to and railheads. ke water mills, again at docks However, natural power fought back, and East Dy Anglian water and wind mills were improved and modernised. The Norfolk windmill, in particular, became a virtually automated piece of plant 2 with the widespread use of patent sails and the to be done on the reasons for such local variations, fantail: some sails were even fitted with air- and also on the industries mentioned earlier in brakes. Finally, agriculture required a rapid which East Anglia was a pioneer. Norfolk system of communications for perishable foods, certainly has a contribution to-make to the and a cheap system for bulk grain: rail provided understanding of industrial change in develop- the former and sea the latter. ment in England. In addition to the industries dependent cin agriculture, there were a number of others which while having perhaps some connection with the land, were encouraged more by factors such as the availability of a pool of labour with certain skills. One example is the Norwich shoe St industry, partly encouraged by the availability ll, of leather from Norfolk tanneries such as that Mi at Whitwell, but more by the availability of small 'garret' workshops and unemployed Flour textile workers. In Diss coconut matting was woven, and in North Lopham some linen. Other industries grew in response to the demand for building materials: lime, bricks and cement were all produced, the latter two for sending Bibliography: to the London market in some cases.

It is a summary of the full Broads Climate Adaptation Plan prepared as part of the UK National Adaptation Programme. To get the best future for the Broads and those who live, work and play here it makes sense to start planning for adaptation now. The ‘climate-smart’ approach led by the Broads Climate Partnership seeks to inspire and support decision makers and local communities in planning for our changing environment. It is supported by a range of information and help available through the Broads oCommunity initiative (see page 18).

Faulkner 43 Oaks Drive, Colchester, Essex CO3 3PS Phone 01206 767023 E-mail [email protected] ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The 44 th Annual General Meeting was held on Sunday 18 May based on St. Mary’s Church Hall, Westry, March in Cambridgeshire. The day started off with a visit to the nearby boatyard operated by Fox Narrow Boats where we were met by Paula Syred, daughter of the late Charlie Fox who had established the business in 1959. Members were given an interesting presentation of how the company had developed before looking round the marina and being able to inspect two of the current hire boats – Leisurely Fox and Silver Fox - both of which looked extremely smart. And then it was back to St. Marys where we were fortunate in being able to look round the recently restored church that had suffered an arson attack four years ago. Members then enjoyed an excellent luncheon laid on by Margaret Martin and her team before turning to the formal business of the day. 2 The Director’s Report and Accounts for the year ending 30 June 2013 were duly, approved before Alan Faulkner, David Mercer and Jeff Walters were re-elected as Directors and John Cordran was re-elected as Accounts Scrutineer. Chris Black then gave a full report about the progress on the North Walsham & Dilham Canal and the meeting concluded with a report by Chairman Roger which centred round the Environment Agency’s reduction in dredging and maintenance.

Applicant: The Broads Authority Recommendation: Approve with conditions Reason for referral Broads Authority application to Committee: 1. Description of Site and Proposal 1.1. Members will be aware of the on-going 20 year Broadland Flood Alleviation Project (BFAP). This has been implemented from 2001 and is nearing its final stages. An extensive planning application for flood improvement works within compartment 28 (Peto’s Marsh) was approved by the Broads Authority in April 2014 (BA/2014/0039/FUL). These flood defence works have been undertaken by contractors on behalf of the Environment Agency and the reinforced flood banks surround the application site which is a 2 hectares area within the wider compartment. 1.2. The site comprises a triangular piece of land located at the northern tip of Peto’s Marsh at the point where the River Waveney and Oulton Dyke meet and these waterways form the boundaries to the west and east respectively. In 2018, the Suffolk Wildlife Trust (SWT) purchased Peto’s Marsh as part of a wider land purchase scheme to extend the nature reserve at Carlton Marshes.

  • Norton Marshes to Haddiscoe Dismantled
    This area inspired the artist Sir J. A. Arnesby 16 Yare Valley - Norton Marshes to Brown (1866-1955) who lived each summer Haddiscoe Dismantled Railway at The White House, Haddiscoe. Herald of the Night, Sir J.A.Arnesby-Brown Why is this area special? This is a vast area of largely drained marshland which lies to the south of the Rivers Yare and Waveney. It traditionally formed part of the parishes of Norton (Subcourse), Thurlton, Thorpe and Haddiscoe along with a detached part of Raveningham. It would have had a direct connection to what is now known as Haddiscoe Island, prior to the construction of the New Cut which connected the Yare and Waveney together to avoid having to travel across Breydon Water. There are few houses within this marshland area. Those that exist are confined to those locations 27 where there were, or are transport links across NORFOLK the rivers. The remainder of the settlements have 30 28 developed in a linear way hugging the edges of the southern river valley side. 22 31 23 29 The Haddiscoe Dam road provides the main 24 26 connection north-south from Haddiscoe village to 25 NORWICH St Olaves. 11 20 Gt YARMOUTH 10 12 19 21 A journey on the train line from Norwich to 14 9 Lowestoft which follows the line of the New Cut 13 15 18 16 and then hugs the northern side of the Waveney 17 Valley provides a glorious way to view this area as 8 7 public rights of way into the middle of the marshes LOWESTOFT 6 4 (other than the fully navigable river) are few and 2 3 1 5 far between.

    WISBECH CANAL ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION DESKTOP STUDY SUMMARY APRIL 2010 This report is a summary of the desk-top study that was carried out in relation to the environmental investigation of Wisbech Canal. A desk top summary is research of map, documents and previous reports relating to a site. This report outlines the site history, previous monitoring and site investigation, contamination and the scope of the investigation. This report is a non-technical summary to provide an introduction into the research behind the environmental investigation. 1 Wisbech Canal Study Summary CHAPTER 1. SITE HISTORY The site which will be investigated is the former Wisbech canal. The canal was 5.25 miles long and extended from The River Nene at Wisbech to Outwell where it joined Well Creek and connected with the River Ouse at Salter's Load Sluice. Because of the low level of the Fens, the canal was built on embankments for some of its length. The canal did not have its own water supply, but was refilled with water at each high tide. Figure 1 shows a diagram of the canal and its bridges and locks.
