Yarmouth Beach
The Eastern & Midland Railway logo cast into the canopy spandrels is the giveaway to this location being the former Midland & Great Northern terminus at Yarmouth. The station did not really close to passengers in 1959 - it merely swapped trains for buses and carried on as a coach station until final demolition in 1986. This photo shows the deserted coach station in October 1977 and illustrates perfectly the reason for the railway's closure. Whereas the station was a hive of activity on summer Saturdays as holiday makers came and went, out of season there was very little passenger traffic.
