What is recorded here

This grey commemorative plaque records: The Boom Towers were built in 1344 to defend the approach to Norwich by water. The use of a chain across the water, between the two towers, controlled river traffic and prevented the unauthorised entry of vehicles. The eastern tower is known as the Devil's Tower. Recorded plaque organisation: Norwich Heritage Economic and Regeneration Trust.

The Boom Towers, constructed in 1344, were crucial defensive structures that protected Norwich from waterborne threats by regulating river access with a chain stretched between them; the eastern tower, known as the Devil's Tower, stands as a historical testament to medieval military engineering.
