Forgotten railway
The Beeching 'axe' of the 1960s was a severe blow to the rural rail network around the country, especially in Norfolk. Passenger traffic ended between Dereham and Fakenham but the line remained in use for goods traffic and served the Maltings at Ryburgh. But a few years ago, the track was ripped up and bridges like this one near Gateley have become overgrown. Fortunately, part of the line is being revived by enthusiasts who run it as the Mid-Norfolk Railway.
