About Fencing in Downham Market
Downham Market in Norfolk sits at the edge of the Fens, its market place marked today by a striking black and white Gothic clock tower, a gift to the town from local grocer James Scott in 1878. The town developed as a trading centre for the surrounding reclaimed Fenland farmland, with many buildings in the centre made from local carrstone, giving parts of the town a distinctive warm coloured appearance.
