North Elmham Station Norfolk jan 2013

Hay folks... well myself and kathyms decided to head back to the lovely county of Norfolk for our little urbex mooch yesterday as Norfolk has so much to see.
Well one of the sites we visited which I share with you now is the lovely little derelict station of North Elmham Station

bit of history

North Elmham station was opened in 1849 for great eastern railway Elmham in 1872 changed its name to North Elmham. The proceeding station is County School and following station is Dereham station which is a on going restoration project by the Mid-Norfolk railway organisation.
Due to Dr Beechings cuts it closed to passenger travel on the 5th of October 1964 and normal freight in 1971 but was still being used by neighbouring J R seamans granary up in till 1989.
now some time from the line being out of use in 1989 and 2009 the old station building was brought to be converted to residential use and the upper floor was added but roomier has it that not proper planning permission was granted and works come to a Holt and its layed derelict ever since.
Now unfortunately there is no internals as it was to busy to gain access

how she looked few year ago with J R seamans in the back ground which is no longer there





trucks being fill with grain at J R seamans

The first photo is more that a few years ago. the car is a give away so around the mid 1970's. Can't say the building has been improved much either.

Very true mate when i got the photos from the web there was no date given when they where taken apart from the ones with the trains which where 87 and 88 yeah they have made a real mess of the building but with any luck it will be restored to its former self

What a crying shame.

Austin / Morris 1100 or similar. I got offered one a few years ago, but it had big holes in the rear floor pans, where the rats were getting in and the car smelt horrible.

Its a nice little splore is accessable just needs to be done first thing or later at night as there is a bike shop by the old parcel store and station rd can be busy with traffic and folk walking about

ive been there. the bike station has some interesting old bikes...
nice pics

Some really good shots here. I have been there several times. The place looks very derelict now. Quite sad.

I'd love to see whats left in there, god knows the railway always leave lots of they deem 'junk' lying around in closed up buildings.

Love derelict railways, nice job capturing what's left!

Thanks for the comments guys
