The Great Eastern Railways Thetford to Swaffham line ran past here, hence the station style sign. The pingo trail runs along part of the old trackbed. The opening of the Thetford to Watton railway line on 18th October 1869 by the Thetford and Watton railway Company was a great opportunity. Sadly the line closed in the Beeching axe of 1964.
