Pulls Ferry, Norwich, Medieval watergate on River Wensum, Norwich, England

The flint building features a broad stone archway along the riverside walk, with its medieval structure standing near Norwich Cathedral.

During the 12th century, monks created a canal beneath the arch to transport stone from Caen, France, for the construction of Norwich Cathedral.

The building received its name from John Pull, who managed the ferry service and public house from 1796 until his death in 1841.

The location offers weekend refreshments during summer months, with tables arranged under the arch and accessibility options for visitors with mobility needs.

The original water channel, used for transporting building materials including Baltic timber and Swedish iron, remained operational until its filling in 1772.
