Arch: Forgotten UEA Bridge
In the woodland grounds of the UEA, somewhere behind the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts. Off a track that mainly seems to be frequented by dogwalkers is this little bridge, curving over what is barely a stream. I think in the summer months this pretty much dries up completely. I couldn't tell you its age or anything about it: at a guess, I'd assume this little site was once part of the grounds of Earlham Hall.
Whatever it is, I like this little arch. Equal part fairytale, equal part romantic.

Unfortunately

Traffic Overhead: Underneath the Postwick Viaduct
Beneath the Postwick Viaduct, which sees the A47 pass over the Rive Yare. As with Tuesday's entry ('I Wanna Be a Punk (Beneath the A11)') this sees my continuing curiosity with the undersides of bridges and flyovers. Always good for graffiti, for starters.
Apparently, the grounds beneath the Viaduct have been used sporadically as a traveller's site, although it was deserted when I was wandering round. The shrieking clattering noise caused by the traffic passing overhead was suitably dramatic and unsettling.

I Wanna Be a Punk (Beneath the A11)
It's probably the troll in me, but I do find the underneaths of bridges and overpassing roads to be quite fascinating. Their weird liminal nature, the uncertainty over the use of the space, the gloom, the angle where the bridge re-joins the earth.
This is beneath the A11, where it passes over the River Yare on its approach to Norwich.
