Guided Walk of Quay Street, Halesworth, Suffolk
Halesworth Museum, Station Road, Halesworth, Suffolk, IP19 8BZ
The walk begins outside Halesworth Museum on Station Road. Quay Street in Halesworth was one of it's most important streets, as a means of access to the railway and ways of transporting merchandise and people. It takes its name from the wharf or quay where a canal from the river Blyth terminated. Architecturally it is very significant with its maltings buildings, old police station, Georgian terraces and Hooker House (the home of the distinguished botanist Joseph Hooker). Using historical photographs this fascinating area of the town is brought to life.
