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.

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.
