The passenger boat “Southern Comfort” pictured at it’s moorings outside the Hotel Wroxham in the 1970s.  The Southern Comfort moved to it’s current location at Horning in 1979.

An aerial view of Wroxham and Hoveton c1983.

Station Road in Hoveton c1905. This photograph was taken towards the Northern end of Station Road just down from where it now joins the B1354 Coltishall/Horning Road. The house on the right still stands, and the station itself can be seen in the background on the left. The area immediately on the left of the photograph is now the far end of Roy’s car park.

The Horseshoes Hotel in Hoveton pictured in the 1890s. The sign on the end of the building advertises “Smiths Norfolk Broads Tour” and the gentleman standing in front of the hotel is presumably George Smith, who was the licensee of the hotel at this time. I’ve been unable to establish whether he was part of the George Smith family who later went on to have the boatbuilding business at Wroxham.
