Site -?remains - of Attlebridge station, 1993 View SW on A1067 road. The station had been on the ex-M&GN Joint line, Melton Constable (to right) - Norwich (City) line, which closed for passengers with the rest of the system from 2/3/59, but the section to Norwich City was retained for goods by means of a connection off the ex-GER Wroxham - County School line by the Themelthorpe Loop from 12/9/60 and lasted until 13/7/64. It is not obvious whether the houses had been connected with the railway.
