The footpath on the line of the track continues into town At this point we are about 500 yards from Gorleston Station.
It was at the point where the path bends that there was a turnout for sidings and access to the goods shed which once stood a few yards southwest of the station buildings.

At this point we are about 500 yards from Gorleston Station. It was at the point where the path bends that there was a turnout for sidings and access to the goods shed which once stood a few yards southwest of the station buildings.

The pathway is opening up This is where some sidings and the goods shed were off to the left and the line was starting to be raised on an embankment before the station on Victoria Road.

This is where some sidings and the goods shed were off to the left and the line was starting to be raised on an embankment before the station on Victoria Road.

Looking back from south of the station We are actually standing in (but a little higher than) the goods yard, between two of the sidings looking back along the line we have just travelled. The layout of the path here, deviates from the original line of the railway. The train-line ran a few yards to the left and was still 120 yards short of entering the station.

The site of Gorleston Railway Station Few people traversing this roundabout realise that this was once the site of Gorleston Railway Station. The track (facing north-north-west) entered the station where the lamppost in front of the lorry now stands. The west platform was across the road the east platform was in the trees. The line was a good deal higher than the road now is, being at the same level of Victoria Road, the trees being on an embankment, about the height of the footbridge from where the photo was taken.

The A47 closely following the line of the track Immediately north of the former Gorleston Station.
The road is however somewhat lower than the original trackbed which would have been at about half the height of the concrete retaining wall at this point.

Church Lane bridge The bridge is not the original bridge. Instead of the former railway track, this bridge now has four lanes of traffic beneath it and had to be widened and rebuilt.
