Vanished Buildings and Bridges Old and New, Halesworth

Heritage Open Day: Come and discover the Green’s fascinating transport and trade heritage. We’ll go over or under at least six bridges (including one of Britain’s oldest concrete bridges). Along with the human history, we’ll see lots of our local natural heritage. This will be a relaxed walk along the man-made navigation (the New Reach) which linked Halesworth to Southwold and the sea for transporting goods by wherry (big ship like a sailing barge). We will also stand under one of Britain’s earliest concrete bridges (it’s OK it’s quite safe) and explore the history of this stretch of the Blyth valley. The leader, Nicky Rowbottom, is a long-time volunteer with the Millennium Green and worked for 30 years in nature conservation in Suffolk and beyond. She is a historian by training and inclination, fascinated by the stories visible in the landscape if you know how and where to look.
