Claydon station (remains), 1985
View southward, towards Ipswich and London: ex-GER London - Ipswich - Norwich main line. Although the wires are up, electric trains had only begun to reach Ipswich on 13/5/85 and did not run on to Norwich until 11/5/87! However, this station was closed to passengers from 17/6/63, to goods from 31/3/71. The signalbox was evidently still active. The strange building on the right was part of the Cement Works at Claydon.

Great Blakenham village sign
The village is not afraid to include the huge energy recovery centre which generates 20 Megawatts of Electricity from the counties domestic waste. Aldo featured is of course the church, the River Gipping and the bridge which spans it. Finally the Baptist chapel, not forgetting the chickens.
