Talk:Wissington, Norfolk

The current article says the final section of the Wissington Light Railway (Sugar Factory to Abbey Junction) was closed in 1965. However, a book I have says that rail borne traffic was suspended after the 1981/82 sugar beet season.

The current article is incorrect in stating that the excess carbon dioxide used in the greenhouse comes from a bioethanol plant. Wissington is a bioethanol manufacturer, it actually utilises a CHP gas turbine for electricity generation. http://www.britishsugar.co.uk/Electricity.aspx —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.16.25.182 (talk) 02:17, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
Ex Wissington engines edit
Engine 'Wissington' is in fact at Beamish museum. A plaque says it was presented by British Sugar in 1979.

Was Wissington ever a village? edit
The current lead says "none of the rest of the village remains", implying that Wissington was once a village. However, pre-1920s Ordnance Survey maps don't show a village called "Wissington" here. There's a single house marked (Five Mile House), and a ferry with a cottage next to it, but no church, pub, school, or anything else one might expect of a village. --bjh21 (talk) 14:31, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
