Abbey Pottery Revealed, King St. 28.10.09, B.Heriz
Work is growing apace in the renovation of King Street. This old shop facade was revealed last week. There is an article in the 30.10.09 edition of the Mercury about riverside developments in Cobholm, which could begin in 18 months time: Bure Harbour Quay will provide flats and town houses on the riverfront, though Cobholm residents are being asked to give their views first before planning permission can be granted.
Also announced in the Mercury is news about Great Yarmouth’s historic Vauxhall Bridge, with hopes that it can be restored as a pedestrian gateway to the town. Norfolk County Council engineers, who are working on a feasibility study looking at a range of options for the River Bure bridge, have been given vital extra breathing status by the scheme’s potential funder.
Far-reaching changes in the built environment will suddenly be upon us and it would be nice to collect an archive of images before these take place. Any contributions would be welcome – please email jpgs to b.herizsmith@btinternet.com, or log on to the site as a contributor to start posting for yourself! Drawings/paintings would be very welcome indeed, just email to the above address if help is needed to scan or photograph images for uploading to the site.
