Great Yarmouth photos

I don't know if many people on here will already have seen these but I thought I'd post anyway, I came across an extremely interesting photostream on Flickr. Of particular interest is the Napier Scenic Railway at Great Yarmouth which stood on the site of their current Roller Coaster:

It is almost identical in layout to Margate's Scenic Railway. And here's a photo which actually looks quite familiar (unfortunately):

But there are 17 pages of very interesting photos including some of Dreamland in 1932:

I haven’t got anything to add; the pictures are self explanatory, but thanks for the links. I hadn’t realised Great Yarmouth had another Scenic before the present one.
