Themelthorpe Curve
[edit]The Themelthorpe Curve was built to join two separate stretches of railway:
- Themelthorpe to Norwich, which was built in 1882 by the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway
- Themelthorpe to Aylsham, which was completed in 1883 by the Great Eastern Railway.
It was to be the final section of railway track built in Norfolk by British Rail and was the sharpest curve in the whole of the British rail network.[2]
The curve was opened in 1960, to shorten the route of freight trains carrying concrete products running from a terminal at Lenwade, and was closed by 1985. It is now part of the Marriott's Way footpath, which links Aylsham with Norwich.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
