The Ferry Boat Inn

The Ferry Boat Inn stands along the River Yare, featuring traditional architecture with multiple bar rooms and a riverside courtyard for dining.

Originally established in the early 17th century as a ferry service location, the inn operated until 2006 and received Grade II listing for its architectural value.

The establishment gained recognition as a live music venue in the 1970s, hosting numerous local bands and becoming central to Norwich's alternative music scene.

The building underwent renovation plans for conversion into eco-friendly accommodations, with proposals including a Real Ale Appreciation Shop and residential spaces.

A preserved stuffed cat once guarded the chimney breast, while the 1986 Norwich Pub Survey awarded the building its highest rating for its pre-war fittings.
