Brundall Marsh is a picturesque coastal marsh located in Norfolk, England. It is situated along the banks of the River Yare, just a few miles east of Norwich. This coastal marsh is characterized by its vast expanse of salt marshes and saltings, making it a haven for a diverse range of flora and fauna.

The marshland at Brundall is predominantly made up of mudflats, creeks, and salt marshes. These habitats are created by the tidal influence of the river, which brings in a constant supply of nutrient-rich sediment. As a result, the marshland is teeming with life, attracting a variety of birds, insects, and plant species.

The area is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to its important role in supporting a wide range of bird species. Brundall Marsh is particularly known as a breeding ground for wading birds such as redshanks, dunlins, and avocets. It also serves as a vital stopover for migratory birds during their long journeys.

The salt marshes of Brundall are an important habitat for various plant species that have adapted to the harsh conditions of the marsh environment. These plants include sea lavender, sea aster, and samphire, which provide an important food source for the resident and visiting bird populations.

Brundall Marsh is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, birdwatchers, and walkers who can take advantage of the numerous footpaths and trails that meander through the marshland. The peaceful and untouched beauty of this coastal marsh makes it an ideal spot for wildlife observation and appreciation.

Stench pipe at The Covey/The Green junction The disused stench pipe depicted here is situated at the junction of The Green and The Covey on the edge of Surlingham village. It is painted green similar to the colour of lamp posts. Its wire balloon at top is missing. The houses seen in the background are situated along The Green. For a detailed view of the pipe's base see > <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7216034" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7216034">Link</a> Stench or stink pipes are most commonly made from cast iron and usually painted grey or green and are similar to street lamps at ground level, but tend to be noticeably higher and wider. They are also hollow and commonly have a wire balloon on top. The purpose of these pipes is to vent gas from the underground sewers, releasing it high above street level so as not to offend delicate noses. The pipe seen here was made by Adams Hydraulics of York. The business was founded by Samuel Henry Adams in 1885 and originally known as Adams of York and London. In 1903, the name was changed to Adams Hydraulics Ltd and it specialised in the design and construction of apparatus used in connection with sewerage and sewage disposal works, supplying plants of sewerage and sewage purification. By 1913, there were supervised installations at 150 sewage works in Britain with some of their machinery having been installed at 350 other schemes.
