Ryburgh railway station (site), Norfolk 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 to passengers in 1964. Goods trains carried on until around 1980 after which the track was lifted.
View north west from the former level crossing towards the single platform, a short length of which survives to the left of the white van. The building to the left was the Station Master's house. As can be seen, the maltings in the background have extended across the track-bed.
