The site of the former level crossing in a bleak and lifeless Sheringham on Sunday 4th December 1977. Gates, track and signal box have all gone and wasteland remains. On the far side of the road is the 1967 vintage Sheringham station, little more than a simple halt plus bus shelter since the crossing to the original station was closed. Fast forward to the 21st century and the gates, track and signal box magically reappear, courtesy of the North Norfolk railway. The Jolly Tar café (formerly the Gatehouse Café) stays with us in the time jump, but not so the Shoe Repair and Antiques shops which were demolished and replaced with offices.
