Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Pillbox by Haddiscoe Bridge. This WW2 type FW3/22 pillbox is situated right beside the railway line northwest of Haddiscoe station. It used to form part of the Eastern Command: II Corps Demolition Belt FIII that started at Oulton Broad and ran into the Waveney, as far as up to Norwich along the River Yare. Only five bridges were prepared for demolition. The pillbox is documented in the Defence of Britain database and has the site reference number S0002129. For a wider view of this location see > 1483422.
A diesel multiple unit is approaching Haddiscoe station on the Wherry Line which links the city of Norwich with Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, traversing the eastern section of the Norfolk Broads and running along the rivers Wensum, Waveney and Yare. The name of the 'Wherry Lines' railway routes recognises the important role once played by the Norfolk Wherries, which prior to road and rail developments, were the main transport around the broads and rivers in this area of Norfolk. |
