Breydon Lifting Bridge
A47, Great Yarmouth NR30 1SF, United Kingdom
(A47)
Breydon Lifting Bridge carries a footpath over the Norfolk Broads (River Yare - Main Navigation).
Early plans of what would become the Norfolk Broads (River Yare - Main Navigation) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1816 but problems with Wokingham Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. Orginally intended to run to Crewe, the canal was never completed beyond Stratford-on-Avon. In George Clarke's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Polstan Locks during a thunderstorm.
