A view of the hand operated crossing on the former Aldburgh Branch. The branch ran from Saxmundham to the popular seaside town of Aldburgh via Leiston. The railway closed in the mid 1960s, however due to the construction of Sizewell A nuclear power station a stub was saved, running just beyond Leiston. Today the line is used rarely to take used fuel from Sizewell A which is being decomissioned to Sellafield in Cumbria.
