The Ferry Hut at Walberswick, overseeing the ferry across the River Blyth to Southwold.

Until 1885 a rowing ferry was used when a floating bridge chain ferry was started, initially hand-cranked ferry later being replaced by a steam ferry which ran until 1942 after improvements to the habour made operation of the ferry too difficult. Frank Palmer then restarted the old rowing ferry has was succeeded by Bob Cross and David Church.

Dani Church took over the Southwold-Walberswick ferry service from her father David in 2001, becoming the fifth-generation family member to take passengers across the river.
