In Victorian England, turkeys were popular for Christmas dinners. Some of the birds were raised in Norfolk, and taken to market in London. To get them to London, the turkeys...

A. Were herded by sheep dogs

B. Flew

C. Rode in huge wagons called "turkey-vans"

D. Were supplied with boots made of sacking or leather

Dee!

The turkeys were walked to market. The boots protected their feet from the frozen mud of the road. Boots were not used for geese: instead, their feet were protected with a covering of tar.

And a Norfolk turkey is still a prized bird. You will see it marked as such in menus and in the butchers'. Britain's biggest producer of turkeys is in Norfolk too,though when we think of "Norfolk turkey" we tend to think of the free range bird from a Norfolk or East Anglian farmer, rather than one produced by Mr Bernard Matthew's 'factory' methods.
