Description
Norfolk's railway network was at its peak from the late 19th century to the 1920s, playing a vital role in transporting agricultural produce and tourists. However, by the 1950s, competition from motor transport had taken its toll, leading to the closure of many uneconomic lines before the Beeching Axe. Although these early closures occurred before the railway preservation movement gained momentum, two steam railways - the Wells & Walsingham and the Poppy Line - have survived. This book presents a mix of facts, statistics, and archive photographs of closed stations, offering a unique insight into Norfolk's lost railway heritage. With its blend of historical information and visual archives, this publication is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the history of railways in Norfolk.
