I have a book called 'The Ferry Between Newnham and Arlingham' by Margaret Willis published in 1993. It contains the following paragraph...

Nesta Fryer, who was born in 1913 and still lives at Etloe, vividly remembers the carefulness with which, in about 1928, the ferryman, clad in oilskins, carried her over the mud to the ferry boat. She and her friend, the late Margaret Morse (the daughter of Mr Charles Morse of Gatcombe, who rented all the fishery between Gatcombe and Wellhead Bay from the Bathurst Park Estate), had decided to take their bicycles in the guard's van, the station being about a mile from Etloe....

Hope this helps.
