Briston

Travel Guide

Rural crossroads. None of these country lanes has a name - the road seen straight ahead links with Hall Street further to the east. The bridge seen in mid-distance takes the road over the River Bure which here is nothing more than a small stream > 1278078. The stream here crosses the lane via a culvert which runs underneath it, only to cross underneath another lane at the same junction about 20 metres further to the west > 1278144. The River Bure rises near Melton Constable, 18 kilometres miles upstream of Aylsham, which was the original head of navigation. It flows into the North Sea by Breydon Water near Gorleston, further to the southeast.

Pasture beside railway line View across a cattle pasture towards the embankment which once used to carry the long since dismantled trackbed of the former Midland and Great Northern Railway line. Briston and Melton Constable merge into each other and if it were not for the village sign it would be difficult to discern where the one ends and the other begins. For 50 years Melton Constable was the hub of a network of railway lines which were operated by the Midland and Great Northern Railway and left from Melton station in four directions. As recently as 1956, 32 trains per day passed through the station. A victim of the Beeching cuts, the last passenger train arrived on 4. April 1964.

Where trains once used to run View towards the embankment which once used to carry the long since dismantled trackbed of the former Midland and Great Northern Railway line. It now forms part of the cattle pasture seen in the foreground.

Corpusty - children's playground. The children's playground and adjoining football ground are located where once the railway station and goods yard used to be. Only the station building and a platform (seen in background at left) remain of the railway station and goods yard. The station, officially known as Corpusty & Saxthorpe, was a stop on the M&GN (Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway) route between Melton Constable and Great Yarmouth. The station was closed in 1959, the bridge > 1257349 is half filled-in and the trackbed removed. Some of it is buried under a playing field and some has been planted over > 1257355 - most of what remains is overgrown and impassable > 1257344. The villages Corpusty and Saxthorpe, situated either side of the river Bure, merge into each other. Each village has their own church but St Andrew's > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/309082 serves both villages ever since Corpusty's Saint Peter's > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/873327 - located on the outskirts of the village and separated from it by the busy B1149 - closed and came in the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches.
