2004 Anglia Gallery

	Norwich Cathedrals
	Left: The spire of Norwich's Anglican Cathedral dominates the surrounding area and is second only to Salisbury's in height. Right: The city's Roman Catholic cathedral occupies a commanding position on high ground to the west of the city centre.

Historic Norwich
	It is claimed that Norwich has the most intact medieval centre of any English city. These photos capture some of that history. Left: Princes Street is home to a variety of architectural styles spanning a number of centuries. Right: Elm Hill's steep cobbled lane leads up to its junction with Princes Street.

City of Ely
	Left: The ancient Porta gatehouse in Ely stands close to the cathedral and the city's park. Right: Ely Cathedral is a huge medieval masterpiece, standing out as a beacon across the surrounding fens. A number of other photos of Ely cathedral can be found in the Cathedrals Gallery elsewhere on the parent site.

	Mid Norfolk Railway
	The preserved Mid Norfolk Railway operates along an eleven mile stretch of track from Wymondham to its headquarters at Dereham. The society specialises in restoring and running classic diesel locomotives and multiple units. This picture shows a three car Class 101 unit at Wymondham Abbey station.

	Wymondham
	Left: The picturesque Norfolk market town of Wymondham is home to a large medieval abbey, part of which is now a ruin. Right: The late 15th Century Green Dragon is one of the oldest buildings in Wymondham.

	Port of Lowestoft
	The Suffolk port of Lowestoft is the most easterly town in the UK. This picture shows the research ship RV CEFAS Endeavour as she negotiates the very narrow entrance to the port via the lifting bridge by Station Square.

Ipswich Architecture
	Left: Ipswich town centre is home to a number of historic buildings, such as this ornate example on Butter Market. Right: The Town Hall takes pride of place on Westgate Street.

	Ipswich Waterfront
	Ipswich's waterfront is currently undergoing renovation as the former warehouses and flour mill are transformed into retail and residential properties. This view shows the popularity of the marina on the River Orwell.

Bury St Edmunds
	Left: The medieval gatehouse guarding the entrance to Bury St Edmunds' Abbey Gardens stands behind the unusual lighthouse-style milepost, which gives distances to other towns in East Anglia. Right: An autumnal view of the Abbey Gatehouse from Abbey Gardens.

	St Edmundsbury Cathedral
	The West Front of St Edmundbury Cathedral is unusual for standing right on the street. The seperate Bell Tower which stands adjacent is soon to become obsolete, as the new central tower of the Cathedral nears completion.

	Ely Marina
	The magnificent Ely Cathedral is pictured against a threatening sky from a passing train, with moored boats at the City's marina providing the foreground.

	Peterborough Cathedral
	A close up photograph of Peterborough Cathedral's superb West Front shows its three great arches, porch and carvings in detail.

Historic Lincoln
	The magnificent historic centre of Lincoln is situated high above the surrounding Fens and is visible for miles around. Here are a selection of photographs taken during my visit

This is the view looking up The Strait towards the Cathedral	The enormous cathedral is pictured here from Lincoln Castle's Observation Tower	This view looks east towards Exchequer Gate and the Cathedral from street level	Alfred, Lord Tennyson's statue stands behind the Cathedral in Minster Yard.

	On the Wherry Lines
	This is a typical scene taken from the train on the Wherry Lines, which cross the Norfolk Broads close to Gt Yarmouth. Miles of flat fields are home to various livestock and you're never too far away from a windmill.

	Brundall Station
	The scene at Brundall station in the Norfolk Broads is very much one from yesteryear, with a manually-operated level crossing, semaphore signalling and traditional signalbox.

	North Sea Coast, Great Yarmouth
	This impressive wind farm consisting of thirty huge turbines is located a short distance offshore from Great Yarmouth.

	Sheringham Beach
	The autumnal sun begins to set over Sheringham Beach on the north Norfolk coast, where the North Sea meets the Wash.

Oakham, Rutland
Britain's smallest county is Rutland, and its main population centre is the market town of Oakham. These pictures help portray the attactiveness of this historic county seat.

The 12th Century Great Hall is all that remains of Oakham's castle	A typical scene along one of Oakham's attractive streets	The Market Square stands close to the entrance to the exclusive Oakham School	The marvellous Grainstore Brewery is housed in this old warehouse adjoining the railway station

Stamford, Lincolnshire
The wonderful Lincolnshire town of Stamford is certainly one of the most attractive places in Britain that the Webmaster has visited during his extensive tours of the country

This scene is typical of the limestone architecture that proliferates around town	Stamford's centre is a maze of cobbled streets	The Market Square stands between two of Stamford's church towers	The Webmaster couldn't resist taking this candid photo of three of Stamford's young military personnel - but should Britain's enemies be fearful if this is the future of our Army?!
