Harleston’s History Harleston is an unplanned town, unlike other medieval towns such as Great Yarmouth with its’ ‘rows’. This is a market town in the true sense of the word as, at its’ very beginning, the market preceded a settled community. Why the market became established here is not clear, but a Royal Charter was granted in the 13th century. The triangular market area was bounded by Exchange Street, the Thoroughfare and the Old Market Place/Broad Street. This became a considerable enterprise, serving a wide area. Medieval plots developed on the outside edge of this triangle, stretching back a long way from narrow frontages. They consisted of small orchards, gardens, outhouses and workshops and eventually became known as ‘Yards’. Small industries – tinsmiths, gunsmiths, saddlers and wheelwrights et al plied their trades and turned the yards into noisy, busy places. The buildings fronting the streets became shops with their owners living upstairs.These yards still exist but are now mainly residential. Within the triangle, the market flourished but gradually was built up with more permanent buildings. By 1839, the structure of the town centre was very much as it is today. All through this steady re-development, the daily spiritual needs of the townsfolk and market goers were being met by St Johns’ Chapel of Ease which stood for many hundreds of years on the edge of the Market Place. The chapel was demolished in the 1870’s and replaced by St Johns’ Church built in Broad Street in 1872. (The Chapel of Ease was only available Monday to Saturday. Everyone was obliged to attend St Marys’ Redenhall on a Sunday.)

Over the years, a good relationship built up between the people of Harleston and the many small businesses which thrived here – one steadfastly supported the other, the effect of WW1 was to reduce the population considerably, however the town battled on and took WW2 in its stride – even the closure of the railway did not knock the towns’ progress. The 1960’s was a particularly prosperous time in terms of employment opportunities when a number of small manufacturing firms moved in and created hundreds of manufacturing jobs. Most of these have gone now and Harleston is back to what it always was – a small, vibrant market town providing a wonderful place we can all enjoy. The town is proud of its heritage. For those who wish to know more, why not visit the Harleston Museum? Very small, but perfectly formed, the museum is stewarded by enthusiastic volunteers from May to September. The opening times are limited but can be opened at other times by arrangement – contact details on museum door. Entry is free.

The building of the Corn Hall in Exchange Street 1850 and the coming of the railway in 1855 was indicative of prosperous times and signalled a sound economic future for the town.

Harleston’s Future is an independent, voluntary group committed to supporting the Town Council, local businesses and community life in Harleston. We work closely with the Town Council, local businesses and other groups, to organise a range of activities for the benefit of Harleston residents, the surrounding communities and visitors. As well as organising community events and street markets, the Film Group runs a monthly cinema (with a matinee and evening screening on the last Thursday of the month); Flag Force provides a colourful array of flags throughout the year, with wonderful bunting in the summer months; and the Environment Group helps address issues in and around the town and aims to provide a better home for wildlife including through the Swift Action Group.

We rely on the support of volunteers. New supporters are always welcome and it is a great way to meet new people and get involved with your community. If you are interested and want to know more or have ideas for events and activities you would like to see in Harleston please contact us on info@visitharleston.org.uk or come and chat to us at one of our events. Please check the website www.vistharleston.org.uk for further information about the activities organised by Harleston’s Future.

This year, 2022, Harleston’s Future will be joining with the Town Council and other local organisations and businesses to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee over the bank holiday weekend 2- 5 June. After the last couple of years dominated by covid, everyone is hoping that the sun will shine and we can all come together and enjoy ourselves. The annual Food and Drink Festival will be the 17 September (to be confirmed) and building on last year’s success we are looking forward to a bigger and better event this year with lots of involvement from our excellent local producers and retailers. There will also be a Christmas Market, with the normal Christmas “festivities” including a themed best shop window competition. Looking ahead to 2023, we hope it will be back to business as normal with the regular events listed above as well as the Antiques Market and Street Party which will return for its normal fathers’ day spot in June. There will also be the ever-popular biennial Open Gardens to look forward to, which will be back to its normal early summer spot. The Harleston and Waveney Festival will also be making a return in the week running up to the August bank holiday weekend.

The Harleston, Norfolk community made 1000 origami peace-cranes, each with tiny swifts printed on the wingtips. The wingtips were cut from the cranes and placed into two plastic spheres. One of the spheres was mounted on a display card and sent 36 miles into the sky above Death Valley, California. On the day it was undoubtedly the highest community peace message in the world and perhaps among the highest in history. The second sphere was taken to Japan and left in the Hiroshima Children’s Peace Park.

Walks

Waveney Valley View by Peter Metcalf

Harleston is close to the River Waveney - the boundary between Norfolk and Suffolk.

Walk 1 - Harleston via Starston. Approx distance of 2.8 miles. Steep gradients.

The walks explore the Norfolk side of the Waveney valley - an ancient landscape comprising a complex network of irregular fields bounded by old hedgerows, remnants of the ancient woods, winding lanes connecting villages, hay meadows and pastures, rivers and wetlands; all now set in modern arable land. There are many routes walkers can take, and further information on many more walks can be found at Harleston Information Plus which is situated in Exchange Street. Here are just three examples of the interesting walks you can take.

This walk starts at the Recreation Ground, turning onto Wilderness Lane, Starston Road and then down Bunn's Lane (off the B1134 Starston Road). If you turn right at the end of Bunn's Lane and follow the hill down The Street, you will see St Margaret's Church ahead. If you don't wish to visit the church, turn right past the village hall, and at the end of the pavement turn right onto the public footpath just after passing The Rectory. Ignore the track on the left but keep right on the grass path up the steep hill, go around the corner and continue with the hedge on your right. Cross the dismantled railway line, then the bridge over the ditch and continue beside another field up the hill to Bunn's Lane, cross the road and you will be back on Starston Road, where you can either make your way back to the Recreation Ground or go through Weavers Croft, passing Herolf Way and Pilgrims Way, on to Swan Lane and then onto the main street, The Thoroughfare.

20 |


Walk 2 - Harleston via Lushbush. Approx distance of 3.2 miles. Moderate gradients.

Walk 3 - Harleston via Redenhall. Approx distance of 4 miles. Steep gradients.

The start point is at St John the Baptist, Broad Street. With your back to the church, turn right along Broad Street. Keep right and walk along Redenhall Road out of Harleston towards Redenhall, past the poplar trees and turn left down the hill to Lushbush. Turn left at the T-junction, cross the bridge over the stream and turn right on the public footpath up the hill. Walk up this field edge path keeping the trees on your right. Turn right on reaching the road and, after a short distance, turn left onto the public footpath just after, and adjacent to, the drive to a house.

The start point is St John the Baptist, Broad Street. With your back to the church, turn right and walk along Broad Street, then Redenhall Road, and continue for approximately one mile to the roundabout.

Walk on this wide grass field margin towards and then beside Gawdy Hall Wood. After a short distance turn right at the way marker post to cross the field over the hill down to the road, emerging opposite the junction. Turn right at the road (Church Lane), look out for the wooden memorial to a World War One plane crash on the right just before Church Lane Cottages. Turn first right and follow the road over the hill, continue ahead at the crossroads. Bear left at the junction and walk up Station Hill and continue along Station Road. Turn right at the end, cross where possible and return to the start point. This walk passes close to Gawdy Hall Big Wood, an undisturbed Site of Special Scientific Interest. Whilst there is no public access, the footpath is adjacent to it for a short distance and the large wood is visible from any of the country roads all around.

Cross at the roundabout and walk up to St Mary's Church. After visiting the church, return to the road and continue over the brow of the hill. Turn right into Cook's Lane. Continue along Cook's Lane turning left at the junction to walk down Cuckoo Lane, a very steep hill. Turn right at the T-junction onto Low Road. Turn right at the public footpath finger post just after Freston Farm and Freston House and walk up the steep hill (part of Angles Way). At the junction of footpaths, at the brow of the hill, continue ahead (by turning right then immediately left at the second way marker post) and keep the ditch on your left. Just before a small wood on your left, turn right to walk down to the road. Turn left into Green Lane, cross the A143 at the crossing point and continue as Green Lane becomes Jay's Green. As the road bears sharp right, continue ahead onto Straight Lane, turning left at the end to return to the start point at the church.

interested in Harleston & District and its development, is welcome to join us. You may come to our breakfasts without committing yourself to membership (in the first instance). We are a very friendly, supportive crowd; just come along and see what we are about. Harleston & District Business Forum, in its current form, is 9 years old this year and has never been more vibrant or well supported. It provides likeminded business owners and other interested parties with a forum to share business information, to network, to be an official voice when approached by or when approaching local, regional and national authorities and ultimately to help grow businesses in the area and promote the town and surrounding area. It is an 'open' forum, meaning that anyone who owns a business, works in one, is an ex-business owner or is a member of any organisation 32 |

Breakfast meetings are usually at The Swan Hotel, Harleston but occasionally elsewhere, on the first Wednesday of each month at 7.30am. We have several meeting formats, always preceded by a short introduction from each member, then followed by a speaker or a one to one networking session or members' talks. To book, email info@hdbf.org.uk and give your choice of full English or continental breakfast. The £10 meeting fee can be paid on the day. We also organise occasional outings and an annual Christmas dinner. For more information visit hdbf.org.uk or phone Mark Raines, Chairman, on 07531120817
