Bradfield
Bradfield station closed in 1956, but the building survived into the 1980s. This westward photo towards Mistley was taken from the short length of remaining platform on 15th August 1976, a day when eggs could be fried on car roofs. The crossing keeper has stripped to the waist to suit the conditions. Such was the low usage of the crossing (which was normally kept closed against the road), few were around to object to his attire. [Ref query 10473]
