Andrewcook Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hi to the NBN Forum members Here' this questions. As to Dredging Hickling in the past would that Lower the River Thurne? and make possible for Boats to go under the Potter Heigham Bridge?

Londonlad1985 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I think it's the dredging of the Lower Bure a that would help tbh. That's where the water would be held up, rather than above the bridge. I dare say some more learned souls will be along soon with a more comprehensive answer (hopefully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hasn't made a difference yet and they have been dredging up there for 5/6 years!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malanka Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Week before last the bridge had 7 ft clearance. Last week 6ft5 so I’m not sure what effect the dredging is supposed to have or has had. Air pressure which was 1060mb and rainfall and the state of the north see seem more obvious targets that hauling mud out of Hickling. I agree lower bure would be of more likely benefit as it would ameliorate the effects of North Sea and pressure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 1060mb??? I've been in aviation and sailing for 60 years and never heard of pressure that high! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
