Cruising through Horning in April 1990.
“Dutch Tutch” on the banks of the River Thurne at Potter Heigham. This quirky building bean life as a helter skelter which stood at the entrance to Britannia Pier in Great Yarmouth. The pier caught fire in 1909, destroying the pavilion building which stood on it, and it was thought that the helter skelter itself also sustained fire damage. It now seems that it had been removed c1908 and moved to Potter Heigham - the bottom half was used for the house and the top part became an outside toilet. The extension seen on the left is a later addition.
