Somerleyton Swing Bridge
From Wikishire
Somerleyton Swing Bridge is a railway swing bridge over the River Waveney on the Norfolk-Suffolk border.
It was built in 1905 to carry the double-tracked Norwich to Lowestoft Line over the river, replacing a previous single-tracked bridge. [1]
It is named after the nearby Suffolk village of Somerleyton. It is one of only four remaining railway swing bridges over the Norfolk Broads.
