View near Sandringham, looking north-west to Dersingham and the railway at Wolferton, 1871. Countryside around Sandringham in Norfolk, one of the residences of the British royal family, seen '...from the park or gardens of Sandringham, looking to the north-west - that is, across the line of railway, and in the direction of the Wash. The village seen on the right hand is Dersingham, towards which the train is coming from the Wolferton station. Both these places lie on ground lower than the undulating hills of Sandringham, which are composed of drift or gravel, and must have been the original boundary of the sea; anchors are still found here and there imbedded in the soil. The Prince has planted firs and other trees in great abundance, and they are thriving well on his estate, affording plenty of cover to the pheasants which he desires to preserve'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
