William Russell Sedgfield included this image, produced using the waxed paper process, among his entries at the 1855 Photographic Institution exhibition in London. The 15th-century water gate adjacent to Pull's Ferry protected the channel that had been dug to carry building materials from the River Wensum to the site of Norwich Cathedral. Sedgfield trained as an engraver before turning to photography in the early 1850s. He became 'one of the most critically acclaimed photographers of his generation' and his photographs illustrated a number of books published during his lifetime.
