Newmarket 1st railway station (site), Suffolk
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.

Cottages, All Saints Road
Hard to judge the age of flint buildings, I think these are probably Victorian but much modified. Note the ornate ground-floor window in the farthest one. They used to have hexagonal roofing tiles (Google StreetView 2010) but those have now gone.

1848 Railway Station
Newmarket’s first station was the terminus of the Newmarket & Chesterford Railway. It was built on this site in 1848, and consisted of a single platform to the west of the current line. This continued in use when the Warren Hill tunnel was built, and the line to Bury St Edmunds was opened in 1854. When the Ely line was opened in 1879 a new through platform was opened, joined by a footbridge.
A new station was built approximately half a mile south in 1902, and the original one was used for goods traffic, it closed in 1967, and was demolished c.1985, the site was used for housing.
The photo was taken from above the tunnel entrance, looking south towards the current station. The terminus stood to the right, now submerged in houses.

Disused Victorian postbox
The door has been removed and the box is now a repository for old fish and chip wrappers. The wall in which the postbox is set marks the start of the railway tunnel under Warren Hill.
