Beechams House and the course of the Mildenhall branch line Beechams House was originally a crossing-keeper's cottage. This is where the lanes from Exning to the top end of Burwell crossed the railway, whose course to Cambridge is ahead, to the left of the tall tree. The line's course is also the boundary between Suffolk (left) and Cambridgeshire for the next three-quarters of a mile or so.
