Wells & Walsingham Light Railway - signal box
This full-size signal box at the Wells on Sea station of the Wells & Walsingham light railway came from the closed Swainsthorpe station > Link in South Norfolk.

The Wells and Walsingham Light Railway was constructed by Lt. Cmdr. Roy Francis after having already built the mile long 10¼" gauge Beach railway at Wells. In 1979 he started to construct the WWLR on the four miles of old Great Eastern track bed from Wells to Walsingham, making this the longest 10¼" narrow gauge steam railway in the world. Trains are now being hauled by the unique 2-6-0 + 0-6-2 Garratt locomotive "Norfolk Hero' which was designed especially for service on this line.
The Wells to Wymondham Branch Line

The branch line was one of the longest lines in East Anglia, running from Wymondham to Wells next the Sea, through four major Norfolk towns.
