English: Remaining Rail from the Southwold Railway The last remains of the Southwold Railway harbour branch. A solitary buffer stop remains along with one stretch of rail. The harbour branch was opened in 1914 to increase freight on the 3ft line. However with the collapse of the fishing industry the plan failed. Plus the growth of road transport meant a more convenient means of getting fish to market. The railway closed for good in 1929 after 50 years of operation.
The remains are directly opposite the sailing club
