Reedham chain ferry

The current ferry was built in 1984 and was designed and built at Oulton Broad by the late Fred Newson & the present owner David Archer. It can carry up to 3 cars at a time and can carry a maximum weight of 12 tonnes. There has been a crossing at Reedham since the early 17th Century. In 1949 the ferry was still hand-wound across the river Yare until early 1950 when it was motorised.
