History

The station opened on 2 June 1884 by the Great Eastern Railway. It was situated along a road that ran north west from Station Road. The station had a small goods shed that had a siding that went to behind the west end of the platform. In June 1935 the station was downgraded to an unstaffed halt and the signal box was demolished. It later closed to passengers on 18 June 1962 and to goods on 13 July 1964.[1]

gollark: Yes, it just isn't sufficiently enterprise.
gollark: FizzBuzz but lambda calculululus? FizzBuzz but massively concurrent? FizzBuzz but it does all its computing through abuse of x86 features? FizzBuzz but extremely abstracted?
gollark: I should get in on the FizzBuzz thing somehow.
gollark: A distributed, fault-tolerant, production-ready FizzBuzz implementation for the microservice cloud.
