This era was before I was born and that makes it all the more interesting to read about. Agreed. More threads like this please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 6 hours ago, chrisdobson45 said: @ Vaughan, Is the Breydon swing bridge in the background of this photograph? This is what was always known as the Iron Bridge and the photo is looking from the main part of G.Y.Y.S. upstream on the Bure. This bridge fed the M&GN railway from Yarmouth Beach Station southwards over the Breydon swing bridge, where it joined the line from Yarmouth Southtown Station and went on to Beccles, Lowestoft and then Ipswich. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
