Thought I would just post this one up, visited it quickly on the way back from Norwich the other day not much to explore but interesting little buildings, seems like they are starting some sort of renovation or demolition on it now,here is a brief history:


Hethersett was a railway station near Hethersett, Norfolk. Opened in 1845, it was located some distance from the village it took its name from. It was located on the Great Eastern Railway Main Line between Norwich and Thetford. It was served by between ten and twelve trains a day each way during the early sixties. In 1966, however, the station was deemed surplus to requirements and closed.

In its heyday:

:) I did the same place on the way back from Norwich too. Did you just spot it and then pull off at the next exit?

Quite a nice little place isnt it.

Knew it was around there somewhere so decided to look for it, drove round the village of Hethersett for ages looking for it until a nice man with a dog told us where it was !!!

I just spotted it from the main road and had to brake REALLY hard to make the exit to go and see it :) I had no idea what it was at the time.
