Opened in 1847 as the terminus of the Eastern Counties Railway's line from Stratford, which was later part of the Great Eastern Railway, this station closed to passengers in 2006. View north at the Grade II listed terminus building which was constructed in 1854 and was in railway use until 1979, after which tickets were sold from a more utilitarian building until closure of the line. It was used as a GER museum from 1984 to 2008. It had been empty for many years and was needing TLC when this image was taken, but by 2023 it was being used as a place of worship.
