  1. I was about to write that I had gone for Reedham for the following reasons but now I just can't work out the right bank, there is too much viaduct visible for Reedham. The old bridge started right by the pub?

     

    My initial arguments were:

    Even if the photo was reversed the current works at Haddiscoe are some distance away.

     

    The attached images, the old map from 1928 shows a distinct building just under the approach to the bridge on the left side and even in the modern aerial photos there looks like some evidence of something having been close to the bridge but this isn't visible of any of the old photos of the bridge?

     

    The old pictures show no signal box on the left side

     

    The jury remains out?

  2. Hi Carol

    Are you sure this photo is from the Broads?

     

    Only Somerleyton has a viaduct either side of the actual swinging section of the bridge.

     

    I have never seen a photo of Aldeby and this might be a first if it is this bridge but the turntable for that bridge is on the Beccles side and the old maps of 1880s look like it goes through quite a short area of marsh

  3. What's 10 foot!!!! If you hadn't have got stuck for 30 minutes you might have beaten the wind drop? 

    For anyone interested there are more photos in my photo sets of the evening when the sky was blue and early morning.........as the fog disappeared

  4. Think it was a good job they moved the location of the mark at Ludham this year (and South Walsham) - might have been fun otherwise :)

    Some photos of Raisena are in this batch taken at Stokesby titled grey sky!

    It was great seeing her come along the river - think Raisena entering was the highlight of the race. I kept in touch by text with my daughters that are usually around for the race and I kept mentioning Raisena. Being not Broads born and bred they didn't know what I meant but I just mentioned 60foot mast, search the internet and they then realised what I was going on about. Then all I got was when are you going to load the photos..........
