About


Co-founder of Our Town Story. If you have any questions about the site, or wish to provide feedback, please visit the Admin forum and post in the appropriate place - we'll do our best to help you out as quickly as we can!

We really want Our Town Story to be an album for your old photos, to fill in the gaps in the history books of our villages, towns and cities. We would also love for those pictures to be able to help others - for instance by using reminiscence therapy in treating dementia

We're still a work in progress, and we appreciate all suggestions and observations!

Image Details

Looking south-east along the River Yare down South Quay. Workmen are clinging onto Haven Bridge in its upright position. Haven Bridge was opened by HRH Prince of Wales on 21st October 1930. This photograph may show the bridge still under construction in early 1930. It replaced an earlier Haven Bridge that was opened to the public on October 21st 1854. There has been a bridge on this site since at least 1427.
