jwealleans Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Right on my old patch, there. As you copped both of their commemorative locos on the same day, if you're near Littleport there is a memorial plaque to Nightall and Gimbert on the corner of the library at the end of the High Street.

Cheers, I was there a couple of weeks ago, but only as far as the signal box ! - I will make the effort to go and get the plaque when I'm over there again with some time to spare.
