The location was identified as Whatton (Norfolk) ex-GER.  It was impossible to date accurately but the wagons look like early BR, probably circa 1952/3.  The line from Roundham Junction to Wattonwas opened by the Thetford and Watton Junction Railway on 28 January 1869 fro goods and and 18 October 1869 for passenger traffic and to GER in 1898.  Closed to passengers 15 June 1964.  The shed presumably dates from 1869; it has not been possible to find a closure date.
