Few people traversing this roundabout realise that this was once the site of Gorleston Railway Station. The track (facing north-north-west) entered the station where the lamppost in front of the lorry now stands. The west platform was across the road the east platform was in the trees. The line was a good deal higher than the road now is, being at the same level of Victoria Road, the trees being on an embankment, about the height of the footbridge from where the photo was taken.
