Description: This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to the serene waters of the River Bure in Horning, Norfolk, England during the 1920s.

The horse, harnessed and ready to go, stands proudly next to the boat, while the passengers, bundled up against the chill, wait on the opposite shore. 4.
