The Old Armoury
This is probably the Armoury belonging to Flixton Hall before the demise of the Hall.
((Adair of Ballymena Castle and Flixton Hall, baronets)
"During the Second World War he sold the contents of the armoury at Flixton Hall to support the war effort; they are now in the Powder Magazine and the Governor’s Palace at Colonial Williamsburg (USA).")

The site of the former Redenhall railway station
Close to this point at the lower end of Church Road was the Redenhall railway station, built in 1861 and closed in 1866 as an economy measure and very few passengers and no freight facilities. It was 7½ miles from Tivetshall with a low platform 60 yards long. The station remained in use as a cottage for the gatekeeper. The Church Road crossing (designated No. 41) was immediately to the west of the station.
The A143 was built over 6¼ miles of the original track-bed between the former Ditchingham maltings and Redenhall roundabout.
The embankment still remains in the garden
This piece of the railway embankment is still extant and is indicative of the precise location of the railway bridge (No. 1181) which carried the line over Redenhall Road 670 yards (614 Metres) distant from the short lived Redenhall Station. see TM2684 : The site of the former Redenhall railway station
Location of the Redenhall Road girder bridge
The bridge carried the WVR line diagonally over the Redenhall Road on an embankment which is still extant in the garden of Bridge House. The bridge which was designated No. 1181 was just over 7 miles distant from Tivetshall and only 670 yards distant from the short-lived Redenhall station which stood at the bottom of Church Lane.
The bridge crossed the road between the green Telecom box and the second lamp-post. The embankment of the left side of the road was removed when the bridge was dismantled.
The name-plate on Bridge House, Redenhall
The railway embankment in the garden of Bridge House is still extant. TM2584 : The embankment still remains in the garden
I am very grateful to the owner for his assistance in allowing me access and for additional information regarding the railway line.
The approach to Redenhall Station
The station at Redenhall was opened in January 1861 and closed in August 1866. Nevertheless the station building remained as a crossing keeper's cottage for the remaining years of the line. It would have stood close to the centre of this image which looks toward Wortwell station a short distance down the line.
By Redenhall Station, Harleston next stop
The railway followed the line of the road from here, the site of the crossing (No. 41) over Dyke Bridge (No. 1184) and over Redenhall Road and on towards Harleston Station. No trace of the line or infrastructure remains here.
A bridge and underpass beneath Old Railway Road
The bridge spans a drainage channel and was designated bridge #1182.
The occupational underpass was bridge #1183 is only a few yards to the right hidden in the trees.
The road was built on the original railway embankment but was diverted from the original trajectory left of this point to meet the original height of the road at the roundabout on the left of the picture. The railway continued on the embankment towards the girder bridge #1181 over Redenhall Road, whereas the road diverts either side of the track.
The site of the former Redenhall railway bridge
The line was on an embankment both sides of the road and passed over Redenhall Road on a girder bridge which stood where at the location of the green BT cabinet and the keep left bollard.
The embankment can still be seen in the garden of Bridge House.
The site of the former Station House at Homersfield
Homersfield station was just under 9 miles from Tivetshall and 10 from Beccles, about midway. The platform was rebuilt in 1912 after serious flooding caused much damage. The station had all the usual facilities, with the station master's accommodation on the upper floor. The goods yard has two sidings to a cattle pen and a turntable with three short spur sidings with a connection to a large goods shed and adjoining grain store, which remains extant and in use as a vehicle repair facility.
During WW2 the station served as the rail-link for the nearby USAAF Hardwick airfield.
Homersfield goods shed from the former track
Homersfield goods shed had an adjoining grain store attached in 1898 and the building is still in use today as a vehicle repair facility.
The site of the former goods yard at Homersfield
The goods yard has two sidings to a cattle pen and a turntable (centre - right of the picture near the tree) with three short spur sidings with a connection to a large goods shed and adjoining grain store added in 1898. The building remains extant and in use as a vehicle repair facility.
The modern bridge over The Beck
This modern bridge replaced the earlier 19th century railway bridge built for the Waveney Valley Railway.
Site of Homersfield level crossing
The crossing #48 was necessarily very wide as the line crossed the road diagonally, centred on where the bollards are located in the road. The crossing was encountered about 90 yards after leaving Homersfield station. and just another 40 yards from the bridge over The Beck.
