Summary[edit]

Description
English: Guyhirn railway station - In Rings End
Looking along the route of the old railway line which once ran through Guyhirn and Rings End. This is part of the elevated section which rose up from the flat fenlands to carry the line over 2 rivers and 2 main roads. It is now part of a "pocket park" at Rings End. Guyhirn station, which closed in 1953, once stood on this site. Two flights of wooden steps went up the embankment to the platforms which were built entirely of wood and at the time of closure of the station they had started to slide down the embankment. A signal box was also built on the embankment on the left of the camera position. The line, operated by The GE and GN Joint Railways ran from Spalding to March and was closed in November 1982.
