Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Bridge 303 Bridge 303
Its location makes this bridge the most photographed on the railway, as it carries the line over the A149 Coast Road with views to the sea beyond. This bridge, dating from the lines construction in 1885, originally had a deck of two wrought iron girders with transverse trough decking. In the 1970s this was strengthened by placing sections of flatbottom rail inside each trough. By the 1980s the deck was assessed as being too poor to repair and no longer strong enough for the North Norfolk Railways operations. David Pinkerton arranged for the purchase of one span from the three span bridge 1584 from Shippea Hill. This was delivered to Sheringham in 1982 and was shortened to suit its new situation during the following year. The NNR's first blockade took place during the autumn of 1984 and the bridge was available for traffic just in time for the Santa season. However the bridge will be most remembered for Davids tragic death just as the project's completion was in sight and a memorial plaque may be seen on its wing wall.
