Brown Boats and Wherries are two traditional Norfolk craft which have survived changed times on the Broads. The brown boats are yachts. Thirty-one were built in the early 1900s - of these, 28 still exist. By contrast the story of the trading wherries is a tragedy. This trading vessel is almost extinct. Only one,
Albion, survives supported by a charitable trust and also earning money by taking charter parties.

'Living above the shop' has some compensations when you are the President of Queens'. The palatial 16th-century Lodge is perhaps one of the grandest 'tied cottages' in the land. But when the students are on the rampage, home life for Professor and Mrs Ronald Oxburgh can become a little hazardous ... Dr John Green , the Senior Tutor, was himself an undergraduate at Queens'. So he knows all about student foibles, and takes a firm line with the offenders after a night of particularly unseemly behaviour. Beyond the Lodge, Professor Oxburgh works in the fast-moving world of modern Geological
Science. When it comes to the appointment of an earthquake-expert, some tricky decisions have to be made....
