Station Approach: Wymondham, Norfolk

Derelict site just by the train station in the small town of Wymondham, Norfolk.

"Vast Skies, How Small I Am."

Berney Arms: Norfolk's most isolated train station, and the surrounding marshland.

The Cromer Tunnel

Remnants of the long-defunct Cromer Beach - Mundesley railway line, running beneath the (also long gone) Cromer High - Norwich line. The railway services, as well as the writings of Clement Scott, are often attributed as the reason for Cromer's increasing popularity as a holiday resort during the nineteenth century. Nowadays Cromer is served only by the Bittern Line service, which runs from Norwich to Sheringham.

This is the only remaining former railway tunnel in Norfolk, and surrounded by overgrown and litter-strewn embankments.

Take the 'A' Train

The 'A' Frame bridge no. 249, crossing the River Wensum just outside Hellesdon. It was once part of the long-defunct Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway line, which closed in 1959. This strip of the former M&GN line is now a lonog-distance footpath and cycle route known as the Marriott's Way (itself named after William Marriott, the former chief engineer and manager of the M&GN).

Apparently no. 249 was one of only three 'A' framed bridges on the whole of the line, and is only a few hundred yards from the site of the demolished Hellesdon Station.

Don't Slam That Bloody Gate

On The Marriott's Way, just off Hellesdon Road.
