Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Whitwell Station - way men's hut Vegetation has recently been cleared away and the remains of a way men's hut are again accessible. The tiny building has a fireplace and was used by way men working on the line. It will be fully restored in due time.
In 1882 two railway stations opened at Reepham and Whitwell - Whitwell station, having formed part of the Norwich City to Melton Constable leg of the M&GN which ran for a total of 21.5 miles, was closed in 1959. After years of lying derelict it was acquired by the newly formed Whitwell & Reepham Railway Preservation Society Limited with the aim of restoring the station, acquiring rolling stock and to set up a museum. By September 2008 130 metres of track had been laid and with work still ongoing, the station was re-opened to the public in February 2009 on occasion of the 50th anniversary of the closure of the M&GN (Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway). From end of March onwards weekends we will be open from 10am to 6pm - with steam engine 'Annie' running every first Sunday from midday onwards - and coffee, tea and some food will be served. http://www.whitwellstation.com/default.asp |
