Good photo of the rail Bridge particularly, rare to see one in colour and of that quality.

The middle photo is interesting, by the bridge pilot sign. Presumably that's on the upstream side? Is that the hotel ahead of the boat where the people are?

It's just a holiday chalet - Herbert Woods side (opposite side from where the pilot is these days )

The first and last time we'd ever been under Potter-bridge that was the side we went from, and collected four of five strangers to put the boat  far enough down in the water to get under the bridge, happy days

When we had Canada Goose from Whispering Reeds in 2009 there were about 10 people recruited to get us through.

I remember the old Acle Bridge. Was it eventually deemed so unsafe they had to build a new one?

I think the last straw was when they put a weight limit on it. Then the Sugar Beet lorries had a choice of Wroxham via Potter, Ludham old bridge or Yarmouth Vauxhall. I think Wroxham, Potter and Ludhams bridges, must have groaned every time a lorry went over them.
