Yarmouth Pier
Posted by Admin on 8 May 2018, 7:30 pm
Thanks to a £778,400 Heritage Lottery Fund grant, the iconic Grade II Listed Yarmouth Pier is now being restored, scheduled to re-open in July 2018.
.
Yarmouth Pier has a fascinating heritage and the Friends of Northwood Cemetery is delighted to host a talk about it by Dr Ruth Waller on Tuesday 8th May 2018 at 7.30pm.
.
Yarmouth Pier is the longest wooden pier in England and has been open since 1876 – but if we Pier into the Past there are tales about it going back beyond its opening to Mesolithic Mariners, Roman Traders and Medieval Merchants.
.
This illustrated talk will take place in the Heritage Resource Centre (West Chapel) – also restored by a Heritage Lottery Fund grant.
‘
There will be refreshments and a retiring collection.
.
The evening is open to everyone – particularly to those who have not yet visited and seen what the restored Northwood Cemetery has to offer.
