Opened in 1849 by the Eastern Counties Railway, later part of the Great Eastern Railway, on the line from Wymondham to Wells, this station closed in 1964. Goods trains carried on until around 1980 when the track was lifted. View north west approximately along the single platform which had the track to the right of it. The station buildings would have been just behind the current bungalow, and beyond that, a level crossing for Norwich Road. As can be seen, the site has been redeveloped as a housing estate.
