1. Railways

Abandoned Lines and Stations

A miscellaneous collection of photos of disused stations and lines throughout East Anglia. Much has changed. Some of the stations no longer exist having disappeared under housing estates and road improvements. Bridges and other infrastructure are disappearing at an increasing rate, although some of the Victorian architecture has been preserved. References used for dates and information unless otherwise stated, Forgotten Railways (East Anglia) R.S. Joby and A Regional History of The Railways of Great Britain Volume 5 by D.I. Gordon.

Bourne
83 / 872

Bourne

Bourne , Lincolnshire, the western most station on the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway. The view is looking in the Down direction towards Spalding and Kings Lynn. In the scene Class 4F 2-6-0 No. 43085 has just left the platform, heading towards the Bourne East signal box. To the right of the box is gatehouse No- 108, for London Road, with the double roof and to the extreme right, the original Spalding and Bourne Railway goods shed. Photo dated 28th February 1959. Very little remains today.
