The Story of the Southwold-Walberswick Ferry
by Dani Church with Ann Gander
Dani Church took over the Southwold-Walberswick ferry service from her father David in 2001, becoming the fifth-generation family member to take passengers across the River Blyth in Suffolk. Her book charts the often-troubled story of the ferry from the first recorded licence in the 13th century, through its mechanised heyday to the present rowing-boat service, much loved by tourists and locals alike.
With anecdotes and tales from the ferrymen and women of the past she shows how, through fair weather and foul, the ferry has played a crucial role in bringing together the people of Southwold, Walberswick and far beyond.
