More about this scene
Coltishall was the natural limit of navigation up the river Bure. In 1779 the navigable river was extended a further ten miles to Aylsham by means of a series of locks. These were built wider than normal canal locks in order to take wherries, which were broader in the beam than ordinary barges.
