Hardley Cross at junction of the River Yare and River Chet Hardley Cross  dates from the 16th Century. It was erected on the banks of the River Yare near the junction of the River Chet to mark the boundary of jurisdiction between Norwich and Great Yarmouth. A marker, of some form or other, has stood on this spot since the 1400s.  The cross was repaired in 1820, 1884 and 1899 when the fence was erected around it.  It received further attention in 1990 and the bank was strengthened as the cross was in danger of falling into the river.
