Historical North Walsham 121
Ship Yard
Imagine going back in time and
experiencing North Walsham as it was in
the middle of last century. Well, now you
can - in miniature! With the help of dozens
of historic photographs made available by
North Walsham’s Photographic Archive,
and a surprisingly accurate 1926 Ordnance
Survey map of the area, North Walsham
resident Richard Crossley has authentically
reconstructed a lost area of the centre of
town known as Ship Yard. What started as a
bit of fun turned into a major construction
project, that is attracting a lot of interest in
town, and rekindling distant memories. The
completed model has become a permanent
exhibit at the North Walsham Heritage
and Information Centre on Vicarage
Street. Coincidentally, the Heritage Centre
is located adjacent to St Nicholas’ Court
Precinct, which was built directly on the site
of the old Ship yard.
