Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Newmarket: Former 1902 railway station The history of Newmarket's railway stations is quite complex and the current one, shown in Mike's 49935, is the fourth location. The first station, which was a magnificent affair in a Baroque style, was a terminus station built in 1848 at the point where the current line enters the Warren Hill tunnel. It was subsequently extended when the through line and the tunnel were built. In 1885 a second station was built at the northern end of the Warren Hill tunnel. By 1902 the vast amount of equine traffic on the railway meant that the original 1848 station was unable to cope and the Great Eastern Railway built this, the third station, in the photo. The 1848 station closed for goods traffic in 1967 and the one at the north end of Warren Hill also closed too. At some point in the recent past this station with its massive car park and sweeping entrance closed to passengers too, and access to the current and fourth station is now via a small side alley off Green Road. The old station buildings have been converted to offices. |
