Nice that it still has the old bells which have been there as long as I can remember. The wig wags have been replaced since I visited regularly in the 1990s.
Hi Amanda! Thank you for your comment. I do love the bell sound, I agree they sound much better than alarms or klaxons. The bridge operator does make an announcement on the speaker before he starts the opening sequence.

Nice! Those barriers went down quite slow. Nice bridge too 😎
Thank you! Yes it is nice
ooooh, didn't know this had bells!
Well now you know! 😀
Two boats with one boat coming out and coming in
Great one! Great to see the bells
Thank you! Well you can't really see the bells but you can definitely hear them 😂
Well in case you’re wondering, they’re mounted just behind the car side wigwams on both sides 😁
It took me like 4 years to realise that the wigwags had been replaced 😂
Very nice, I have seen the Bascule Bridge at Lowestoft being raised and lowered while waiting for the train back to Norwich.
Thank you very much!
Bells! Bells sound so much better than klaxons! Am I right in hearing a recorded announcement beforehand? If so that's a great idea!
