The Dutch Tutch in Potter Heigham started off as a helter-skelter at the end of the Britannia Pier in Great Yarmouth.
A converted helter-skelter is among five stunning waterside properties that are set to be converted into Grade II-listed status.
It has stood in the same spot for the last century and the helter-skelter was once named 'On The Mat'. The remains of the amusement ride were transported to the quaint village of Potter Heigham and converted into a two-storey holiday cottage It is believed that the helter-skelter building also sustained some fire damage but, the following year was moved to Potter Heigham, possibly by wherry.
At the time it was believed to have been started deliberately and was rumoured locally to have been the work of the suffragettes, according to Broadland Memories.The Dutch Tutch was once called 'On The Mat' as a fairground rideThe first Brittania Pier opened in July 1858, was constructed entirely of wood and was 700ft in length but the following year it was left badly damaged when a sailing vessel collided with it.
