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.

Fordham.

Fordham, Cambridgeshire, on the still open Ely to Chippenham Junction line facing Soham in April 1973. The manual crossing gates were removed on 28th October 1973 and replaced by AHB. To the right of the home and distant signals is the junction arm for the Mildenhall branch signal. The station house and platforms have since been demolished. The station closed to passenger traffic on 13th September 1965 and to goods on 12th September 1966.
