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.

Stoke Ferry
709 / 872

Stoke Ferry

Stoke Ferry, Norfolk. On the way up to Kings Lynn, I came across the station on the A134 road just south of Stoke Ferry village. Unfortunately It was impossible to get any closer as the entrance was boarded up. As can be seen the station buildings and goods shed are still extant. The area appears to be in the process of being redeveloped Hopefully the buildings can be restored and preserved.

Image dated 17th February 2020.

This was a terminus of a seven and a quarter mile line from Denver Junction on the main Kings Lynn line.
Opened 1st August 1882
Closed to passenger traffic on 22nd September 1930
Closed to freight on 19th April 1965.
