Panorama of the route of the former railway track
The route of the railway we are following arrives from the right near the red bus, around where the cars are parked and across North Denes Road on the left along where the houses have since been built, and into Yarmouth South Beach Station about 650 yards (600 metres) south from this spot.

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.

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.

Caister Road Bus Depot
The former Great Yarmouth County Borough Council operated trams from 1903 until 1933 and buses from 1921. The blue bus depot, dating from the 1920s, on Caister Road at the top of Lawn Avenue fortunately still survives as the present day First Group Plc garage acquired in 1996.

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.
