I was talking to Jackie today and she suggested including an article on the Great Yarmouth Venetian Waterways. It looks like they are worth a visit because they have recently been restored. I didn’t realise who and why they were built, when you find this out you will get a great insight into society after the First World War. They were built in 1928 but which workers were given priority to build them? Who was the designer? When did The Waterways fall into decline? They have been restored in 2019 but which workers were given priority to work on the restoration? And where did the finance come from? Please select the following link to find out more:

I didn’t realise that decorative features (Nursery Rhyme tableaux, a large volcano, statutes) had been added in the 1950s but have subsequently been removed: Please select the following link to find out more:
