Restoration of the Boat Figureheads

We are really excited that three of the original boat figureheads, dating back to the 1950s, have been moved to Skippings Gallery for vital restoration work.

The working being undertaken is of a delicate nature due to the condition and age of the wood. Once restored the figureheads will be placed throughout the Waterways for all to enjoy.

At the end of January 2019 we were really lucky to visit the Norfolk Record Office and view the original plans for the Waterways and Boating Lake. Designed by the Borough Surveyor, Mr S P Thompson, they were really fascinating to see!
