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 East

Murrow East Station buildings on the M and GN. Located between Wisbech and Peterborough. The small building to the right of the picture is the weighbridge office. The green garage door on the main building was the waiting room. At the time the building was occupied by a coal merchant, Mr William Mews and his wife Avril. The buildings have now sadly been demolished and modern housing now occupies the site.

Image dated 16th August 1978.
