EspañolBRESSINGHAM STEAM & GARDENS
(Redirected from Bressingham Steam Museum)
'Bressingham Steam & Gardens' is a steam museum and garden centre located at Bressingham, west of Diss in Norfolk, England. There are three narrow-gauge lines which take visitors around the gardens:
The Garden Railway (10.25 in gauge).
The Nursery Railway (2 ft / 610 mm gauge).
The Waveney Valley Railway (15 in / 375mm gauge) .
The site also contain a short standard gauge section of track and standard gauge footplate rides are sometimes available to visitors.
The gardens were established by Alan Bloom MBE at Bressingham Hall, who moved to Bressingham after his previous site at Oakington in Cambridgeshire was compulsorily purchased by the Chesterton Rural District Council. Alan Bloom died in 2005 aged 98.
Alan Bloom was also a plant expert of international renown, particularly in the field of hardy perennials. He laid out the Dell garden with its well-known island beds. His son, Adrian Bloom, laid out the Foggy Bottom garden.
Much of the site is given over to commercial horticulture. There is a garden centre on the site, trading as Blooms of Bressingham (a business now owned separately from the Bressingham Gardens and Steam Museum which is a charitable trust). The nurseries themselves are not open to the public.
