Editing Wroxham (section)

==Capital of the Broads==
Wroxham is often called the ''Capital of the Broads'', an accolade that may, with some merit, be challenged by Hoveton, where the majority of local businesses and boatyards are situated; it has been the primary centre on [[the Broads]] for boating holidays and excursions from the late nineteenth century, when expansion of the rail network had made access to the area easier. 

The [[East Norfolk Railway]] arrived in Wroxham and Hoveton between 1874 and 1876. John Loynes, regarded as the father of the Broadland holiday business, started the first boat hire firm on the Broads of Wroxham where he moved the business he had started in Norwich in 1878.<ref name="literarynorfolk">{{cite web|url=http://www.literarynorfolk.co.uk/wroxham.htm|website=Literary Norfolk |title=Wroxham |date=2017 |access-date=18 August 2024}}</ref>
