Halifax Quay:The two storey control block on the left is said to be all that survives of Halifax Quay station, one of the first stations on the system to be built. It served the large workforce of Cocksedges Engineering on the other side of Wherstead Road, and thousands of workers used the station every day. The white tunnel in the centre of the picture supposedly led through to the platform, and stairs led up the bank above to another platform on the main line. Ipswich Underground railway was instigated as an April Fools prank and never existed.
