Middleton Towers
The line between King's Lynn and Dereham was closed on September 9th 1968, but freight activity continued on short sections at either end. Shown here is the King's Lynn end at Middleton Towers, the first station out. This section of the line was (and is) retained for sand traffic from British Industrial Sand's transfer sidings just beyond the station. On March 29th 1980, a DMU is paying a visit as part of a west Norfolk freight lines rail tour. Apart from the absence of a signal box and signals, a photo taken at the same place in 1968 during the last days of passenger service would be little different.
