Hello! This is my first post to this website with content, and I did use the search function, typing in Reedham, Reedham ferry etc and nothing came up, in regards to other content about the same building.
With two friends, I went searching for derelicts around the Norfolk countryside, looking for good source material etc. I decided to drive to Thurlton/Beccles way (ok, that's suffolk), which is where I spent a lot of my time growing up, wandering around country lanes at around 10 or 11 years old.
We decided to drive up to Reedham ferry, as I was curious to see whether that old ferry was still 'going' after all these years. It was! Surprisingly!
By the side of the road, my friend noticed a derelict right away, and of course almost immediately I pulled the handbrake up, parked the car by the side of the road and went to investigate.
I still have no idea what this building was used for previously, after asking around, showing my photographs to friends and a local family member. He said it was probably some sort of 'pump station' to pump water out of the dykes, which would make sense. I did google, but i think because this site is so small, there is very little information on it.
At first I didn't want to go in, as I was sure we would most definitely get caught wandering around, and not having read up on the laws and guidelines, it wouldn't have been the best situation. My knack for adventure kicked in though, and I was soon inside the building taking photographs!
Here are the few photographs i took;
Overall, the day was successful, and very interesting!
If this post is in violation of anything, please do tell me, as I do not intend to break the forum rules!
Thank you for looking =]
