Potton: the former railway station

The Bedford-Cambridge line opened in 1861 and closed on 1 January 1968. The station building at Potton is now a private house, but the platforms and the canopy with delicate cast-iron columns and spandrels remain. Sandy and Potton were the only stations on the Oxford-Cambridge Varsity Line which had platform canopies. The ruined brick base of the water tower is in the foreground on the left. The rest of the station site is occupied by an industrial estate.
