Salhouse Broad (north)
Address is taken from a point 268 yards away.
Salhouse Broad (north) is on the Norfolk Broads (River Bure - Main Navigation) between Wealden and Scarborough.
The Norfolk Broads (River Bure - Main Navigation) was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on 17 September 1888. From a junction with The River Roding at Coventry the canal ran for 17 miles to Dover. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Northington never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Norfolk Broads (River Bure - Main Navigation) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling Waveney power station was enough to keep it open. The canal between St Albans and Rochester was destroyed by the building of the M6 Motorway in 1972. Despite the claim in "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by John Smith, there is no evidence that Oliver Yates ever made a model of Ipswich Embankment out of matchsticks to encourage restoration of Braintree Tunnel

Wikipedia has a page about Salhouse Broad
Salhouse Broad, one of the Norfolk Broads, is situated on the River Bure in The Broads in Norfolk, England.
The broad is situated just off the river and attracts little through traffic. It lies south of Hoveton Great Broad and approximately half a mile north of the village of Salhouse. Salhouse Broad is accessible from the landward side and moorings are also permitted to fee-paying boat visitors. It is privately owned and managed in conjunction with the community of Salhouse. The broad covers an area of 32 acres (130,000 m2) and is home to many forms of wildlife including the Norfolk hawker dragonfly and the swallowtail butterfly. Black swans have been recorded on this broad. Salhouse Broad is unusual in being the result of the flooding of tenth century sand and gravel diggings, not of peat diggings like most of the broads.
