Sitting pretty on the river Wensum and one of the most famous landmarks in Norwich.
Pull’s Ferry is a former ferry house located on the River Wensum in Norwich, Norfolk. It is a flint building and was a 15th-century Watergate. It was the route for the stone used to build Norwich Cathedral. The stone came from Caen up the rivers Yare and Wensum. A canal, specifically build by the monks, used to run under the arch, where the Normans ferried the stone and building materials to be unloaded on the spot.
The building is named after John Pull, who ran the ferry across the Wensum from 1796 to 1841.
