English: It once carried the railway to Themelthorpe. Now it carries the Marriott's Way over nothing. This disused railway bridge > 1044172 is located just east of a footpath junction > 1044127 by Brick Kiln Farm > 1044131 - 1044143. It now carries the Marriott's Way westwards to the village of Themelthorpe.

What now forms part of the Marriott's Way once used to be a railway line which ran from Themelthorpe > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/895499 to Aylsham > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/761149 - built by the Great Eastern Railway and completed in 1883, and from Themelthorpe to Norwich > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/760082 - built in 1882 by the Lynn & Fakenham railway company. The Lynn & Fakenham railway then developed into the Eastern & Midlands Railway on 1st January 1883 and then into the Midland & Great Northern Railway on 1st July 1893. The line formed part of the Norwich City to Melton Constable leg of the railway which ran for a total of 21.5 miles. The track remained in use until 1985 to facilitate concrete product movements from Lenwade; this involved the construction of the Themelthorpe Curve west of Reepham linking the Wroxham - County School line with that from Norwich - Melton Constable. Once concrete production ceased, there was no reason to keep the line open and it was closed. The dismantled railway trackbed is now a long-distance footpath, named after William Marriott, the chief engineer and manager of the M&GN railway system for 41 years. He was based and lived in the village of Melton Constable > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/953137 the then main depot of the M&GN railway. http://www.countrysideaccess.norfolk.gov.uk/walk-35e.asp?id=35"
