Description

Until 1959, a short section of railway, of which this is a part, carried a shuttle service from King's Lynn's still-extant station to the former Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway station at South Lynn, from where one could catch services towards Norwich in one direction and Spalding in the other. This photograph is taken a few metres from where the line joined the current Network Rail line from Ely.

After the end of passenger services on the "Joint", a section of this line was left open until c. 1993 transporting materials to the sugar beet factory in South Lynn. An old signal mast and some railway track are visible here. The line is now mostly lifted west of this point.

This photo was taken with a Voigtländer Vito B 35mm film camera. You can read more about this camera at the Living Image Camera Museum and at Camerapedia.
