Hellesdon Railway Station

Hellesdon railway station is a former railway station in Norfolk, England, which served the area of Hellesdon, today virtually an outer suburb of Norwich. It opened on 2 December 1882 and was closed on 15 September 1952, six years before the rest of the line. Parts of the platform walls still survive today on both sides of the tracks, however the station itself has long since been demolished and the site is extremely overgrown. An entrance gate next to the bridge spanning the River Wensum still exists. Many of the station's features are hidden in the undergrowth including fence posts, signal box foundations and telegraph poles. As the building was demolished, half of the platform was removed from the building end. The bridge was also removed to change the road plan. In October 2010, the platform wall was cleared by the amateur group Friends of Norwich City Station (FONCS), with the station name board posts visible. The surface of the platform and the cattle dock are planned to be cleared in the future. Former Services
