Opened in 1848 by the Newmarket and Chesterford Railway, later part of the Great Eastern Railway, this terminus station closed in 1902 to passengers, and completely in 1967. It was replaced by the current Newmarket station on the through-line from Cambridge to Bury St Edmunds, which is behind the house to the right. View north towards the buffers. The site has been completely redeveloped with the cul-de-sac occupying the former forecourt, and the houses are built on the site of the station building.
