Outwell Village
There is very little to see of the former Wisbech and Upwell Tramway which finally closed in 1966. Beside the canal at Outwell where the tramway had a small yard, local historian and author Mr William Smith stands beside a monument he designed and had erected so that the tramway is not forgotten. The top of the monument is an old signpost which had been found buried after it had been taken down during WW2. The arms of the signpost have been adapted to include some facts about the tramway. The rest of the construction includes a trolley wheel, a piece of 80 lb/yd bullhead rail sat in a chair and attached to a short length of sleeper. The lower part of the post has been adorned with views of the tramway when it was working. Note the connection to Toby the Tram engine!
