Inside gate No 1 on Syderstone Road
This gate would have formed part of the security around Sculthorpe Airfield when it was operational. It still remains locked although it is possible to gain access to either side of the gate. It probably formed part of the security for the living quarters which are now the non military community Blenheim Park and Wicken Green Village. The road behind me turns into a track which then goes through Gate No 2 (see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2392510 ) and into a part of the airfield which is still secure.

Syderstone Road gate to Sculthorpe Airfield, Blenheim Park, Syderstone
Before the airfield http://www.raf.mod.uk/bombercommand/s27.html was built in the Second World War, this road would have been the way out of Syderstone east towards Fakenham via Dunton Patch. Sculthorpe Airfield remains in the hands of the DoD and is the focus of a fair amount of military exercise activities involving both the Army and Air Force.
The routes of the old roads obliterated by the airfield are easily explored using the excellent http://www.historic-maps.norfolk.gov.uk/Emap/EmapExplorer.asp. This provides (for Norfolk) digital versions of tithe and enclosure maps, the First Edition OS Map, and aerial photography from 1946 and 1988.
