    Remarkable film of a railway that closed so long ago. What a lovely heritage railway it would have made. Chuckles, thanks so much for posting.

    My maternal grandmother used to tell us that she remembered travelling along the line when she was a girl. Great video. Very well put together. Thanks.
    I have fond boyhood memories of Southwold. Must go back some time. Definitely "Wennerston".

    Thank you for this superb video and story about the Southwold Railway. In the late 70s and early 80s, my wife and I and then our little daughter, stayed a number of times in a flat owned by my parents-in-law in Halesworth, pretty much opposite the bottom of the hill leading to Halesworth station. Early morning walks with said youngster often took in the station and then the park the other side of the road where there used to be one of the old SR locos on static display. I also played golf a number of times at Southwold and remember that cutting. It is so good to see that some are trying to restore the railway. Best of luck with that endeavour.

      Thanks glad you liked it. My sister in law lives in Halesworth and we sometimes have a walk on the old line. There is a very short section of track still in situ over a bridge.

    What a beautiful and quaint railway. It clearly served the town and its people very well. Sorry to see it gone 😢

    A dear departed friend of ours recalled travelling on this railway on a Boys Brigade outing to Southwold in the 1920s.

    Charming scenes from a bygone age. No longer any trains. However, a newly built steam locomotive arrived at Southwold not long ago. So, there is still hope.

    I am planning a small model railway based very loosely on this line, imagining it had survived into the preservation era. I have acquired some stock and have built "Wenhaston" albeit rebuilt as an 0-8-0T but since I have other commitments in both N and 0 gauges, progress, like the Southwold, will be at a gentlemanly pace! T hank you for this video. It will greatly assist in capturing the busily leisured pace.

    I would love to see this lovely line reinstated but sadly the modern day Local authority says "Not in my back yard!"

    Sorry, I came to late to see the line.
    Walking along the seaside to Blythborough.
    The ferryman rowed me to the other side of the Blyth in 1970.
    Put some pennies in the slotmachine; had a fish and chips in town.
    A Rover policecar drove me back to the Round House in Thorington.

    Wenhaston is pronounced more like "Wennerston" not ""Wen hass ton" Enjoyed the video though, thank you.
