Potter Heigham

Page 1, 2, 3, 4

Riverside bungalows on the Thurne at Potter Heigham c1919.

I have so far been unable to identify the exact location of this view of Potter Heigham village which dates from 1920.

The Bridge Hotel with Walter Woods and Sons boatyard in the foreground c1920.

“On The Silver Thurne Near Potter Heigham” c1930.

Another view of The Bridge Hotel at Potter Heigham, this time dating from the 1930s when the licensee was Ethel Barnwell.

This postcard of the Bridge Hotel also dates from the mid 1930s.

Riverside bungalows at Potter Heigham c1920s. The area where the bungalows stand became the “Broads Haven” boatyard when the site was purchased and developed by Herbert Woods c1930.

Looking downstream towards the bridge and the hotel at Potter Heigham c1930s.

This postcard of the River Thurne at Potter Heigham also dates from the 1930s - the photograph may possibly have been taken during a regatta.

Another view taken from the edge of the Broads Haven boatyard c1930s.

This postcard shows the Potter Heigham village pageant c1920. In his book “Life In A Norfolk Village”, published in the late 1940s, Charles Carrodus makes mention of the Potter Heigham pageant of 1907 which was held on the same day as the village’s regatta on marshland between the Falgate Inn and the Bridge.
