  Strupshaw Steam Museum The Museum was opened at this site in 1954 when the engines were moved here from North Walsham where the engine collection as it was then was previously housed, and it was in this year also that the first engine, a Marshall was purchased. The Museum houses what is believed to be the largest private collection of steam engines in the UK. Many of the engines housed here are still in good working order.

  Dragon HallPeople have been living and working on the Dragon Hall site for at least one thousand years. This was a desirable place to live. It was sandwiched between two major lines of communication, King Street and the river Wensum.
