A long-abandoned harbour in north Norfolk which was once one of the busiest in the UK has welcomed the first commercial sailing boat in 60 years. The small fishing village of Cley-next-the-Sea saw the historic arrival of the 30ft ship Salford this weekend - the largest working vessel to weigh anchor there in six decades. Cley used to be one of the most important ports in Great Britain, seeing barrel-loads of grain, malt, cloth, spices and more exported and imported to and from mainland Europe.
