Nowhere (Norfolk)

According to 19th-century directories, Nowhere or No-Where is a marshy area by the River Bure where the villagers of Acle, Norfolk had salt-pans to produce salt for food preservation, etc. Originally an extra-parochial liberty it was formally incorporated into Acle parish in 1862 and the name no longer appears in maps and gazetteers.
