Opened in 1883 as "Huntingdon" jointly by the Great Northern and Great Eastern Railways on the line from Huntingdon to St. Ives, the station was renamed "Huntingdon East" in 1923. It closed to passengers in 1959 and completely in 1963. View north east towards Godmanchester and St. Ives along the course of the track and platforms, which followed the curved markings in the car park. The station was adjacent to the current Huntingdon station, and it is the car park for that station that has been extended over much of the site of the former station.
