I always like old photos of Salhouse taken before the mooring quay was created. It brings back a strong childhood memory of climbing one of the trees looking down at our boat below, bow on the sand bank. Bring back sand banks I say, saves all that hassle of tying ropes around posts. 

 

Like this you mean?

This comes from Blakes brochure of 1969 so the photo was probably 1967. 

I can be pretty certain that the water skier was Dinah Percival and the boat was driven by her brother, Tom. They were often up there of an afternoon. No problem though - there were no speed limits in those days! only in Horning and Wroxham and on Wroxham Broad.
