Car ferry, Norfolk a98_09928

Reedham ferry, Reedham, Norfolk. This small chain ferry is still the only vehicle crossing on the River Yare between Great Yarmouth and Norwich. Much of East Anglia is watery, and many rivers could only be crossed by ferry before road bridges were built in the later 20th century. Photographed by Hallam Ashley in September 1954

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: Reedham Ferry, Norfolk, 1954. This evocative photograph captures the essence of rural life in Norfolk, England, as depicted in September 1954 by renowned photographer Hallam Ashley. The image showcases the Reedham Ferry, the last remaining vehicle crossing on the River Yare, connecting the historic towns of Great Yarmouth and Norwich. The River Yare, meandering through the picturesque landscape, is the backdrop for this timeless scene. A small chain ferry, with its distinctive wooden hull and rustic charm, is seen transporting a car across the river. The gentle ripples on the water's surface reflect the tranquility of the moment, while the surrounding trees and greenery add to the idyllic setting. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era when much of East Anglia's waterways could only be traversed by ferry. Before the construction of modern road bridges in the later 20th century, these humble ferries played a crucial role in connecting communities and facilitating the movement of people and goods. Hallam Ashley's masterful composition and keen eye for detail bring this moment in history to life, allowing us to appreciate the simple pleasures and unique character of a time when life moved at a more leisurely pace. This photograph is not only a testament to the rich history of Norfolk but also a reminder of the enduring beauty and charm of the English countryside.
