The North Walsham and Dilham Canal 1826-2026

This unique Broadland canal once served the "wool town" of North Walsham, with grain and flour going to the coast, as well as the "cabbage wherry" that took vegetables from Antingham to Yarmouth. The upper section from Swafield Bridge to Antingham closed in 1927, but the public right of navigation still exists below Swafield Bridge even though the locks are derelict. A local restoration society is seeking to bring the canal back to life. Ivan will recount the canal's history and outline the society's plans. Followed by question and answer session.
