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.

Murrow West Signal Box.
585 / 870

Murrow West Signal Box.

The signal box in September 1982, looking south towards March. The March to Spalding line closed weeks later on 27th November 1982. The M and G N line from Peterborough to Kings Lynn crossed here on the level, from left to right, about where the black shed adjacent to the box is. The box opened on 26th November 1950 after its predecessor was destroyed in a collision in 1941. It is now used as a private residence. In the background is Murrow West Station's goods shed with the long demolished platform and station house between there and the box.
