View across the Bush Estate from the dunes
Only the Bush Estate, a private estate consisting of pre-war bungalows and caravans, remains of what once used to be the village of Eccles. In a petition from as early as 1605 villagers asked for a reduction of taxes, after only 14 houses and 300 acres of land remained, following a ferocious storm the year before. The parish church, St. Mary's, fell into the sea on 25. January 1895 but the church tower remained standing on the beach for a while longer. Meantime no trace remains. http://www.literarynorfolk.co.uk/eccles.htm

A Ferguson TE-P20 Industrial Tractor
Built in 1952. The single headlamp in the grille face panel indicates that this is the Council version; it has a petrol engine and a bracket at back for mounting a loader. Not many of this type were built, and even less have survived until today.
