Shadow Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hi, I was recently working in the area and had an afternoon off, so decided to see how much I could find along the line between King's Lynn and Fakenham . Here's a list of the photos, didn't get a chance to get to all locations but hopefully will be back up later in the year, so will try to fill in the gaps. I'll spread the photo's over the next few posts. Dave Bridge near Roydon Hillington Station Line side hut at Massingham East Rudham Station Road Bridge near Helhoughton Raynham Park Station Doughton Level Crossing Bridge near Shereford Fakenham West Station Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 If you want to find/see the positions go to the following link. All the photo's are on Google maps/Panoramio panoramio Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 I was playing with some HTML code and Google maps the other day with the idea that the Photographic Survey thread (Photographic-survey) images could be displayed at their actual locations. If you download the attached file, and then call it up in your browser you should see images that are selected by either "Railway", "RMWeb Survey" or "All". This does assume that the images ave been tagged! I've also adjusted the colours, layers, etc, to highlight the railway tracks. It starts up over London, but if you scroll up to Norfolk you can see the above images You can click on the image, and the select "view in panoramio" bottom left of small image to go to the bigger picture.

Fenman Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Brilliant topic! There are a few bits and pieces further west at the King's Lynn end of your route, in order: crossing gatehouse on Loke Road (guarding the abandoned Austin Fields-Bawsey line); a wonderful selection of river/drain crossings at South Lynn, including an old colour light signal; a lovely single-track skew bridge to the west of the site of Gayton Road station. Some pics of these are in my M&GN gallery, but I am a techno-idiot and can't for the life of me work out how to upload them into this post (which is bizarre, because I'm sure I've done it before...). http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/album/2768-mgn/ Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
