A view of the level crossing and original station building from 1845. The old down platform has been demolished. The level crossing has been hand operated since opening but after 165 years it will come to an end with resignalling and the abolishment of most hand operated crossings and semaphores on the Breckland line. The 36¾ mile Norwich & Brandon Railway, incorporated in 1844, backed by George & Robert Stephenson and built by Grissell and Peto, opened as the Norfolk Railway with a double track line on 30th July 1845.
