taken 23 years ago, near to Barnby, Suffolk, England
The old Blind Man's Gate gatekeeper cottage
My grandparents lived here for over 50 years alongside the East Suffolk line. This old building, a traditional cottage for the line with its roof-diamond, is very close to the line as I well remember - those class 37s running from Lowestoft to Liverpool Street would wake anything when they rumbled past... The furthest window was a bedroom window and yes, you had to be a sound sleeper to stay there! The building was knocked down in the early 2000s.
