Themelthorpe

Themelthorpe is a village in the county of Norfolk and district of Broadland, three miles north west of Reepham.

Themelthorpe Curve

The Themelthorpe Curve was built to join two separate stretches of railway, the section from Themelthorpe to Norwich which built in 1882 by the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway and the line from Themelthorpe to Aylsham, completed in 1883 by the Great Eastern Railway. This section was to be the final section of railway track built in Norfolk by British Rail. It was opened in 1960 to shorten the route of concrete trains running from a terminal at Lenwade, and was closed by 1985. It is now part of the Marriot's Way footpath.
