Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Abutment at the end of railway embankment. The embankment > 1638949 forms part of the disused King's Lynn to Dereham line - part of the Great Eastern Railway - and is situated immediately south of a dismantled bridge which used to take the railway over the River Nar. Its brick piers are still in place > 1638940. The Lynn & Dereham Railway, which weaved a 42 kilometre route to East Dereham via Narborough and Swaffham, was opened in stages between 1846 and 1848. The line to Dereham closed in 1968. Part of it is now a Norfolk Wildlife Trust Railway Line Nature Reserve, with the car park being situated about one kilometre south of Narborough village. The unique strip of chalk grassland here was created when engineers who built the railway line exposed the underlying chalk as they dug a borrow pit to build up the embankment. |
