Part of the FCF AA box Challenge Nigel. 19 of those Boxes, some now listed, still in Roadside Locations in the UK.

We took a holiday in Norfolk at Wells-next-the-sea, as a flimsy excuse to photograph that box at Brancaster!

Only one box remains---at Trinity in Jersey.

What do you know about Nobby Clarke :?:

Well most importantly his contraption features on the FCF thread "On your Bike" this very day

Bert 'Nobby' Clarke was a ferryman from Thorpe who worked a river crossing at Whitlingham.

He bought part of the contraption in Wroxham in 1947 and
created a vessel which for years was the talk of the waterways. It was entirely pedal powered, with bicycle parts turning two rear-mounted paddle wheels. A steering wheel was fitted onto two floats.

Nobby also worked as a diver for the police and his water bike was apparently used in the recovery of 31 bodies from the river between the 1930s and 1960s.

A small wheresthisthen and as well as the railway buffs, a no holds barred any method you choose to get the answer is encouraged. Some image searches are better than others. I only rediscovered where it was today despite taking the original picture on holiday in Norfolk. Few clues it is in North Norfolk and it was originally the site of a railway station on a now closed line. It is a converted Station Master's House
