History

The Pulhams have a proud history and are particularly famous for their Royal Navy connections during the First World War. Under great secrecy in 1912 a large air station was constructed by the Admiralty for the operation of airships from the area. By the end of World War 1, more than 3000 Royal Navy personnel were based in the villages at one of the largest airship stations in the country. The Pulhams were home to a number of airships from 1912 to the early 1930's and housed the famous R34 after it completed the first dual crossing of the Atlantic in 1919.
