Summary

Mousehold Tramway was laid during World War One to carry munitions from Thorpe Station to the airfield on the Cavalry Drill Ground (NHER 12415), converted to a Royal Flying Corps airfield. All that now remains is a deep cutting, rising up to meet Gurney Road at the southwest end. From there the trains used the municipal tram tracks to the station.
