By the Wensum |
The source of the river which flows through our community rises close to the village of Horningtoft. Flowing westward initially toward Whissonsett, it continues close to the Raynhams, Helhoughton, Shereford and Sculthorpe before eventually reaching Hempton and Fakenham. In years gone by, the Wensum provided a critical source of energy to the many water powered industries which had developed along its way, while also being a place of much enjoyment and pleasure. Our selection of pictures from the past show the Wensum as a place of work, leisure and, sadly, a scene of devastation too.
