The 10¼in-gauge Wells & Walsingham Light Railway, which uses a stretch of the former Wymondham to Wells-next-the-Sea branch line (closed in 1964) had not been open for long at the time of our holiday visit in August 1983. Its first locomotive, "Pilgrim", built in North Walsham, arrives with a train from Wells. This engine was later sold and much larger articulated locomotives in Beyer-Garratt style are now in use. The picture was scanned from a Kodak Instamatic snap taken on a cloudy afternoon. For more about the railway, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wells_and_Walsingham_Light_Railway .
