School entrance and line of former railway line
As if standing under the track, between the car and the sewage pumping station on the right is where the Yarmouth to Lowestoft railway line used to run on an embankment. On the left was a signal box.

The site of the former Caister Road railway bridge
The bridge was of plate girder and brick construction with a 16 feet of clearance below. Until now the track has been on an embankment since Cobholm Island but the track after the bridge (to the right) is elevated and drops to ground level by the end of Beaconsfield Road on a 1 in 106 gradient.

Beaconsfield Road, Great Yarmouth
On the right of the image, where the cars are parked was the Great Yarmouth to Lowestoft railway line elevated at this point having come off the Caister Road bridge. Beginning a descent at this point down a gradient of 1 in 106, which by the end of this road would have been on level ground to round the corner into North Denes Road.

Beaconsfield Road car park on the former railway line
The line at this point would still be about the height of the wall on the left at this point having dropped from 16 feet at the top of the road to about ten.

The school lawn, on the former railway line
This was all open fields when the railway was built and is now very populated with a new road, school and housing.

Crossing from the gap between the houses
At the time there was no road as there is today and the railway would have crossed via a bridge over a proposed road and open land continuing on the embankment over what is now a school, left of the picture behind the hedge.

Kitchener Road Cemetery, Great Yarmouth
This young squirrel is investigating a bit of steel that is sticking out of the plinth of a toppled monument. The squirrels in the cemetery are quite tame and are waiting to be fed with peanuts.
The cemetery is bordered by St Nicholas' church and priory in the south and by Nelson Road North in the east. The old cemetery is separated from the new cemetery by Kitchener Road which bisects the two. To the west, the new cemetery is bordered by Belvidere Road whereas East Road runs along the boundary of the old cemetery. Estcourt Road runs along the northern boundary of the new cemetery.
