In a moment of boredom during lockdown I took to reading about Victorian railway disasters. Was suprised how many and how catastrophic they were. One occurred locally a couple of miles outside Norwich at a place called Whitlingham Junction killing around 20 passengers . I often walk the nearby marshes. The cause was signalling error on a stretch of single line resulting in a head on collision
Anyway I read that the driver and fireman of the mail train who were both killed in the collision were buried in a Norwich cemetery so I spent a an afternoon this week amongst the tombstones looking for their graves which I found.
I'm not turning into some sort of rail f enthusiast am I?

My parents were in Glasgow buying the engagement ring in 10th December 1937.
They caught the train home about an hour before the trains involved in the accident.
