Helen Stephenson's East Anglia 6th June 1999 Day Trip Pictures
This page contains clickable images.
My old school friend Carol, who is visiting from Australia, accompanied me on a day trip into East Anglia.
Naturally, my Pentax KM and bagful of lenses went too, and here are some of the more noteworthy results.
If you want to see a larger image of any of these pictures, please click on the picture.
Our first stop was Wandlebury.
Our guide book misled us into thinking that we were going to see a chalk figure carved into the hillside there,
but it turned out that although evidence of such a figure was uncovered during a controversial archaeological dig in the 1950s, the figure is not visible.
However, there are a variety of interesting walks and buildings there, and under the arch lie the remains of the Godolphin Arab,
one of the three horses from whom all modern Thoroughbreds are descended.
Our next stop was the Norfolk Broads.
These pictures were taken at Rollesby Broad.
Then we headed across to Caister on Sea, where the ruins of a Roman fort can be viewed.
We saw some sea at Caister on Sea, too.
We admired the rainbow, and watched the ship passing in front of the oil platform.
From Caister on Sea, we turned south.
Our next stop was at Great Yarmouth, where we watched the sunset.
We saw an interesting fragment of the old town wall, and viewed the monument to the Battle of Trafalgar from a safe distance.
Our final stop was on the A12, and was made when you could almost still claim that it was twilight.
I'm hoping that an East Anglian friend can identify this church for me, as I can't remember which village it was in.
The Internet's a wonderful place: my East Anglian friend David asked his mate Gordon, who not only knew that it was Blythburg, but was actually married in this church!
Phil from Bristol also posted this information on alt.binaries.pictures.scenic so thanks to Phil as well.
