Janet 9 > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4617326 - one of the old boats stored at Valley Works > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4617264. Janet 9 (A632) was built in the early 1950s by the Martham Boat Development Company aka Martham Boats and was last seen on the river in 2007. As the boatyard is upstream of the bridge, the builders had a serious limitation to contend with as all their boats had to be designed to fit under Potter Heigham Bridge, which is the smallest navigable bridge on the Broads. (Details of almost all of the boats operating on the Norfolk Broads can be found on Craig Slawson's excellent "Boats of the Norfolk Broads" website: http://www.broads.org.uk/wiki/index.php5?title=Main_Page )
