The Old Gate House

At the end of Bledwick Drove north of Wisbech stands this old gatekeeper's cottage once part of the Wisbech to Sutton Bridge railway infrastructure. The line ran between the west bank of the River Nene where I am standing and in front of the cottage. I guess the level crossing here was little used as it only gave access to the river bank.
