A historic building has been lifted up and moved from Oulton Broad and taken to a new home.

The signal box on the Wherry Railway Line was lifted from its position on the corner of Bridge Road and Caldecott Road in the small hours of Sunday morning.

But the wooden structure will not be going far - and its new home will be at the East Anglia Transport Museum in Carlton Colville - just two miles away.

The signal box was made redundant when signalling on the line between Suffolk and Norwich was updated to an electric system.
