Pull's Ferry Norwich
Heritage Open Day: Come and find out about the history of Pull's Ferry and see inside the Watergate room. Find out how the stone for the cathedral was transported up the river (now the road) and how people crossed the river before the bridges were built. In the medieval period transportation was a persistent problem, especially transportation of heavy building materials. Roads were poor so wherever possible building materials were transported by boat. Before work began on the cathedral in the 12th century a narrow chance, or canal, was dug from the River Wensum to the building site.
Heavy stone, much of it from France, was brought up the canal to the site. In addition to stone from Caen, timber from the Baltic came up the canal, along with iron from Sweden.
