History

Opened by the East Norfolk Railway, then run by the Great Eastern Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

Passenger services were withdrawn in 1952, but freight services continued until 1977. In 1990, the station buildings, then one of the most complete remaining Great Eastern stations in Norfolk, were demolished to make way for the Bure Valley Railway whose headquarters now occupy the site. [1]
