A Holiday in the Broads (2 / 2)
A splendid set of two postcards depicting aspects of two ladies holiday to the Norfolk Broads. In this second photograph, the ladies are watching the actions of a mechanical scoop, which is extracting peat from the Broads. The Romans first exploited the rich peat beds of the area for fuel, and in the Middle Ages the local monasteries began to excavate the peat lands as a turbary business, selling fuel to Norwich and Great Yarmouth. Turbary, which is more fully expressed legally as common of turbary, is the right to cut turf from a turbary on a common or in some cases, another persons land

A Holiday in the Broads (2 / 2) - Uncovering the Rich History of Norfolk's Peat Industry
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this second postcard from a charming holiday in the Norfolk Broads, two elderly ladies, dressed in their finest furs, pause to observe the mechanical wonders of the past. The scene unfolds on the shores of one of the many broads, with the tranquil waters reflecting the vibrant colors of the autumnal foliage. The focus of their attention is a mechanical scoop, an ingenious contraption that has replaced the traditional peat-cutting methods of the past. The Romans first discovered the rich peat beds of the Norfolk Broads over 2,000 years ago, exploiting them for fuel. In the Middle Ages, local monasteries began to excavate the peat lands as a turbary business, selling fuel to Norwich and Great Yarmouth. Turbary, a legal term for the right to cut turf from a turbary on common or another person's land, was a significant industry in the region. As the ladies watch, the mechanical scoop extracts peat from the depths of the broad, its crane-like arm dipping effortlessly into the water. The peat, a valuable resource for fuel and horticulture, continues to be an essential part of the Norfolk Broads' history and economy. This snapshot in time offers a glimpse into the region's rich past, showcasing the intriguing blend of history, industry, and natural beauty that makes the Norfolk Broads a must-visit destination for holidaymakers and history enthusiasts alike.
