On the former trackbed passing Bridge Farm, with the crossing gates ahead and the station building in sight. On the immediate left is where the Admiralty Siding loop turnout was located. The siding was constructed in 1915-16 to serve Pulham Airfield and the experimentation and operation of the airships. The Royal Naval Air Station was established in 1912, on land acquired from 3 farms, including Upper Vaunces farm, and the siding officially named Upper Vaunces Farm Siding. Airships flew from here to engage in patrols over the North Sea.
