This is Phase 4 of the Wisbech to Upwell Memento project supported by Well Creek Trust and others.
Here we see the unveiling of the Memento carried out on the 4th November 2023 at Emneth. The task of unveiling fell to local resident Norman Paget, a long time supporter of the project. He also shares some of his memories of the Tramway, The Reverend Awdry and the Thomas the Tank Engine characters.
There are two more mementos to be installed which will be sited at Elm High Road (the last for Norfolk) and at the site of the crossing near the old Wisbech East Station (In Cambridgeshire).
Please visit the other videos on this channel showcasing the memento project unveilings of Phases 1-3.

In assisting to record and document the memento installations we have considered and researched a lot of material and the principal architect of the project is historian William (Bill) Smith. He has produced books relating to Upwell, Outwell and the canal system with content relating to the Tram Line.
