The picture of the new haven bridge would have been taken after 1976, not around 1950. There are a few clues - the bus on the bridge is one of Great Yarmouth Corporation's MCW bodies Leyland Atlanteans, which were bought new in 1960. The tall, three roofed office block behind the town hall is Yarmouth House, which was built in 1970. Also, just behind the bus shelter on the quayside near the town hall, a car is parked on the track of the quayside goods line. This would not have been allowed, unless it was after the line closed in 1976.

People who lived in Great Yarmouth and worked in Gorleston (or the other way round) if they were late for work the excuse that the bridge was up could not be proved.  It did used to go up for boats to get through then the traffic could not over it.
