Railway Memorial - The Memorial on the site of the former Wenhaston Station commemorates the Southwold Railway and was unveiled by 90-years-old Walter Nolloth, a former passenger, on January 3rd 2001. The railway operated from 1879, when it largely superseded transport by wherries on the River Blyth navigation, until 1929, when it in turn was superseded by motorised road transport. Staunch Lock - A broadening of the river marks the site of a former staunch lock. A staunch, or flash, lock was a single barrier across the navigation channel through which the flash, released from the higher to the lower level, permitted navigation between the two. Statuette of Venus - The bronze statuette of Venus dates from the Roman period and may have been dropped by a traveller when fording the River Blyth. Pastureland in the Blyth Valley - The pastureland alongside the River Blyth is grazed by sheep and Fresian and Holstein cattle. |
