Photograph of Pulls Ferry - a former ferry house located on the River Wensum in Norwich, Norfolk.
It is a flint building and was once a 15th-century watergate. It was the route for the stone used to build Norwich Cathedral. The stone came from Caen up the rivers Yare and Wensum. A canal, specifically built by the monks, used to run under the arch, where the Normans ferried the stone and building materials to be unloaded on the spot.Photograph Details
