Themelthorpe Curve

The Themelthorpe Curve was built to join two separate stretches of railway:

It was to be the final section of railway track built in Norfolk by British Rail and was the sharpest curve in the whole of the British rail network.[2]

The curve was opened in 1960, to shorten the route of freight trains carrying concrete products running from a terminal at Lenwade, and was closed by 1985. It is now part of the Marriott's Way footpath, which links Aylsham with Norwich.
