View eastward, opposite the Library. The former Colne Valley & Halstead Railway used to run in the foreground, from Chappel & Wakes Colne (to right) - (to left) Haverhill. Halstead station and the whole route was closed to passengers from 1/1/62, when all traffic ceased Haverhill - Yeldham; goods traffic continued Yeldham - Halstead until 28/12/64 and Halstead - Chappel until 19/4/65. Evidently, no trace of the railway remained 30 years later.
