The BBC Norfolk webpage has now added a webcam that is attached to the Broads Authority launch that patrols the Waveney, Yare, and Breydon areas. The link is;
#@*%!://www.bbc.co.uk/norfolk/webcams/norwich_mobile.shtml
Pics are updated about every 15-25 mins tides and operations permitting, all through the summer. I was alerted via the Broads Authority mailing list.

Attached is a pic I saved earlier today, approaching Berney Arms High Mill;- I'm almost sure it's the mill at Berney Arms as about 30-45 mins later, the launch was across Breydon and there was a pic along Yarmouth Yacht Station.

If it is the Mill, then it would seem that the sails have yet to be reinstalled.

P.S. Andrew, I'm visiting the Broads next week for 3 days, so I may have some more pics for your site soon. Cheers

My mother's side are Berneys from the Vallee du Joux in Switzerland. I am interested in all things Berney.

Excellent informative site - amazing that the station has survived at all into the 21st century!!! Will definitely be visiting this summer to sample the ales at the pub!!! Cheers!!!

Really enjoyed your website.
Very nostalgic for me as I went on holiday to Yarmouth from 1946 to 1959. Until 1957, we travelled by special train over the M&GN via SAXBY, SUTTON BRIDGE, SOUTH LYNN and MELTON CONSTABLE; I think it took about six hours to get there! Happy days!

What an excellent website! Well designed full of useful information - this is the first of many visits I'm sure.

Thank you.

Mark

PS Know the area well as my father is from Lowestoft.

Read your site with great interest: I'm looking for information on an accident which occured at Vauxhall Station, Great Yarmouth on the afternoon of Thursday June 17th, 1897. If anyone can point me in the right direction for research, eg GER accident logs? please get in touch.
Thanks,
Lee

Oh yes, one more thing. The station's original sign has been reinstated. I read it in the Lowestoft Journal a few weeks ago.

I completely forgot to look on the walk I took, so can anyone confirm that it is back?

Thanks for all the replies. Can't wait to see them go back up.

Took another walk across Halvergate marshes the other week (as mentioned the paths are still very hard to see) so ended up on the railway line 50m from the station, whoops!

Got to the mill and saw that some progress had been made and the cap was on (when I last came there was no cap on whatsoever, so was happy to see that.

Then walked back along Breydon water, ending up at the Asda carpark, Must say it was a great day out.

Have just unsucessfully tried to cycle from Freethorpe to the Berney Arms - the path seems to disppear on the marshes. Any ideas?!

I moved to Great Yarmouth in 1985 from London... I love to look into the past of Gt Yarm.
Great site with loads of information.... hope it grows bigger with more photos and information (I want to know what Lawn Avenue was like when the trains ran along the rear of some of the houses.

Chris at the Berney Inn says the sails are due to go on at the end of the month but we have also been told they will not be on till 2005 by others!!
The next Berney Arms Reunion will be held at the Berney Arms Inn on Sunday 5th September 2004. Anyone interested in Berney Arms is welcome to come along.

Very informative site!! Well Done. And Keep It Up!

Do you know if the sails are back up on the Berney Arms? They seem to have been down for quite some time!!

Thanks for a good site.
The Berney Windmill is still in the process of being renovated. (April 2004) The outer walls have now been painted but the sails of the mill are still off and have not been replaced with new ones.
The Berney Arms Pub serves good food and is well worth a visit. There is a separate restaurant at the back of the pub.

I was stationed over there in the Air Force at Sheperds Grove left there in 58. Did travel with an airman by the name of Buddy Francis. We went to Gt. Yarmouth a lot. He married a girl by the name of Audrey.
We had a lot of fun over there, a lot of good times. I still email a nurse over in Gorleston. good site. Dick

I was brought up in Norfolk, moved down there when I was three from Aberdeen. Although I moved back up when I was nine, I still regard Norfolk as home. I had the happiest childhood anyone could wish for - esp in great yarmouth with the fun fairs and the shows, the great weather (its better than the North of Scotland - I can tell you!)

Wally's Windmill - anyone remember that? Going out into the broads on a boat.

I always have been drawn back to East Anglia and I always will!

p.s I always keep an eye on how the canaries are doing.

hopefully when greater anglia railways takes over from anglia railways they will improve the train service to and from berney arms railway station as it is farcical at present for all the passengers with anglia rover tickets who would like to visit the mill the pub and the river at that point particularly as it is a very long way to walk there from the village by footpath there being no road and few people have a boat as the only other means of access see what you can do a train about once an hour alternately each way giving a two ho#@*%!y service in one direction from about 8am to 5pm in winter and say 9pm in summer

Welcome to the Berney Arms Web and thank you for visiting my local history pages. Unfortunately the original guestbook has experienced problems lately and all the old comments have been lost. I have now set up this new one and would be very pleased to receive any messages or questions relating to Berney Arms or the immediate area. If you left a message previously then please feel free to do so again. I am also keen to receive any feedback on the website content.
