East Suffolk line through Waveney Forest - Forest Lodge The bungalow now called Forest Lodge once used to be a crossing keeper&#039;s cottage on the East Suffolk line. It was built in 1859 and is one of the earliest buildings with a cavity wall for damp proofing.

The line, initially running from Beccles to Halesworth, opened in 1854. It was later continued north to Haddiscoe on what is now part of the Wherry Lines, and in 1859 was opened to reach as far south as Ipswich and north to Great Yarmouth. The Beccles to Lowestoft branch line was opened in the same year. In 1862 it became part of the Great Eastern Railway (GER).
