Welcome to the Berney Arms Web, named after the little known remote location in Norfolk, England which I used to visit often whilst I lived in the nearby town of Great Yarmouth. I've now moved on to Gloucestershire but I still have links with the area and visit whenever possible.

This page was put together to provide some background information on this unique place and the neighouring towns of Great Yarmouth and Gorleston. The site has a slight bias towards transport and local history, particularly that related to railways, and there are extensive photographic collections showing the development of transport links around the Great Yarmouth area as well as extracts from old mapping dating back to the 19th Century. I intend to extend this with more information as I find it.

I would be really interested to get any feedback on the contents of the site and if anyone has additional information I could use then that would be even better. I am interested in anything of a historical nature related to Great Yarmouth or the surrounding area.

I would be really interested to get any feedback on the contents of the site and if anyone has additional information I could use then that would be even better. When all said and done, this website only scratches the surface of the area's history and I hope to extend it over the coming months and years. I am always interested in anything related to Berney Arms or the area around it and would like to hear from any of its past or present residents. All comments, questions and information are welcome and you can email me directly or leave a message in my Guestbook. For further information on any aspect of Berney Arms then some suggested reading is given on the books page.

Thank you for visiting.
