Peddars Way

The Roman road remains, in some parts at least, but its original purpose having been such that it was of no continual use in the Dark Ages, the local system of roads can only indirectly be referred to it.

Of this the great example is the famous Peddars Way running through East Anglia.

Four.

One.

Of the great harbours of the Middle Ages, Dunwich to the south has disappeared, Orford is blocked and is decayed.

Yarmouth, on the other hand, has grown up from a shingle bank into a town, and Braydon Water has changed from an estuary into a landlocked broad.

I cannot doubt that there was some harbour at the end of the Peddars Way which the sea has destroyed.

Brancaster, the military post, was established near it, but not actually within its confines, for some local reason, the character of which we have now lost.
