River Lark passes under Tollgate bridge
To the south west of this bridge the road is Fornham Road. To the north east it becomes Thetford Road. The river probably demarcates the border into the parish of Fornham. A public house one field nearer Bury is also called the Tollgate so clearly there used to be a gate on the main road around here. There is no trace of old stonework though.

A field with a letter box
It is marked Priory Farm, but there is no sign of any human habitation - this is the field also seen in Image On the other side of the road is the Priory Hotel.
Actually the letterbox has appeared since the Google Street View camera passed by. The gate was intact at that time too.

Drain parallel to River Lark
Under all that vegetation there is a so-called drain, running parallel to the river Lark. Actually there was no water in it at the time of the photograph.
