  • Last Train to Barnham! (The Bury and Thetford Railway Company)
    Last Train to Barnham! (The Bury and Thetford Railway Company) In my article concerning the historical ‘goings on’ at Barnham Camp in the last issue of the Newsletter, I mentioned the part that was played by the railway in supporting the establishment. This aroused much discussion about the long-defunct rail line so I thought that this could form the basis of another feature - so I started digging! The story that follows is based on research on the Internet, the study of various books and a bit of detective work in looking around the local area. To begin at the beginning…. In the first half of the 18th Century, the main sea-port for Bury St Edmunds trade was Kings Lynn, reached by boat via the River Ouse and Lark Navigations. The building of the Great Eastern Railway, (GER), line between Bury and Ipswich in 1846 would provide an alternative sea-port at reduced costs but would also put the GER in a monopoly position for Bury trade. The years between 1863 and 1866 became the time of ‘Railway Mania’ when every town or village wanted their own railway. Edward and John Greene, brewers in Bury, believed the town needed an alternative outlet to reduce the dependence upon the GER so they applied for, and obtained, an Act of Parliament for the building of a new railway. (As an aside here, and to answer a question that will be on a lot of people’s minds, another Bury brewer, Frederick King, was finding it difficult to compete with Greene so he agreed to an amalgamation in 1877 to form Greene, King and Sons the forerunner of today’s brewery in the town.) So it was that in 1865, Edward Greene and Robert Boby, (Ironmonger and Engineer in the town), set up the Bury and Thetford Railway Company along with two further Directors Peter Huddleston, (Greene’s banking partner), and Hunter Rodwell, (barrister of Ampton Court).

    Norfolk Rail Prospectus January 2013 If you need this report in large print, audio, Braille, alternative format or in a different language please contact 0344 800 8020 and ask for David Cumming or textphone 0344 800 8011 and we will do our best to help. Norfolk Rail Prospectus Foreword Norfolk’s Prospectus The Future of Rail Today Foreword by Cllr Graham Plant Norfolk County Council Cabinet Member for Planning and Transportation I am pleased to present this rail prospectus for Norfolk. For too long Norfolk has been at the end of the line for rail investment, despite it being clear that improvements are needed so to boost the county’s economic prospects. However, I believe that this picture is changing. MPs from across East Anglia have supported us – with other local authorities and the Local Enterprise Partnerships – in our overarching vision for rail; set out in the Greater Anglia Rail Prospectus. The rail industry is beginning to take notice and is working with us on developing and delivering various improvements across the area. The coalition government too, is listening. We were extremely pleased that their recent statement (on HLOS, the High Level Output Specification) included money for an upgrade to rail infrastructure in Ely, a crucial junction in the rail network for passenger and freight services out of the county. The overarching prospectus for the Anglia region included our priorities: faster journey times, with more capacity, between London and Norwich; half hourly journeys from London to King’s Lynn; and half hourly journeys between the great university cities of Cambridge and Norwich.

Dear Mr Nunn, CPRE Norfolk is deeply concerned by the speculative plans led by Lanpro Services Ltd. into the possibility of developing a new garden settlement of up to 10,000 homes between the villages of Billingord, Bintree and North Elmham. We strongly feel that the site suggested between Billingford, Bintree and North Elmham, bounded by the A1067, B1145 and the River Wensum is unsuitable for large-scale development. CPRE Norfolk is strongly opposed to this proposal for many reasons, not least due to the unnecessary loss of productive countryside such a development would bring. Unnecessary, as Breckland Council has worked hard over the last months and years to form a new Local Plan which will provide planned and sufficient growth to 2036, as well as securing its 5 year land supply for housing.
