Map
Full Description
Sand from Grimston Warren taken to Bawsey Siding.
Closed after 1905.
Information from (S1) but the grid references in this article are taken from a one-inch map.
(S2) shows a tramway diverging from the main railway at TF68162106, running north to a strange kink (reversing spur?) then dividing, one branch to the northeast to a set of sidings in a sand pit, a longer branch to the northwest to another pit at TF 6788 2188. Given the date it seems probable this is the correct line of Gay and Wilson’s rather than being a different tramway.
