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.

Wisbech North
840 / 872

Wisbech North

This was the Midland and Great Northern's station at Wisbech. Located on Harecroft Road, it closed along with most of the M and GN on 28th February 1959 although goods traffic continued until 28th December 1964. The station opened as Wisbeach on ist August 1866, renamed Wisbech in 1877 and renamed again on 27th September 1948 as Wisbech North. During 1982 the whole site was demolished and very little of railway interest remains today. The station was located between Sutton Bridge and Peterborough.
