Type and Period
Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
Brick built railway station dating to 1865-69 in the same Italianate style as other stations on the line. The station comprised: station master's accommodation; staff room; waiting room; lamp room and booking office. It is now in private occupation and access was not gained.
It is likely that part of the brick platform survives, while a brick building to the west is now semi-derelict. It is less likely that anything remains of the signal box, or the siding on the south to the sugar beet factory built in 1927. The earlier north siding is evidenced by two concrete posts, presumably at a crossing point. <1>
