Fordham
The former Fordham junction station as it appeared on 27th March 1978, some 13 years after final closure to passengers. A peculiarity was that the station was once a shared intermediate calling point on two distinct lines, namely Chippenham/Snailwell Junction to Ely and Cambridge to Mildenhall. The line to Ely remained in use for through passenger and freight trains after the Mildenhall branch closed to passengers in 1962 and lives on, and although the station buildings survived for decades after the date of this photo, they eventually fell into dereliction and were engulfed by vegetation
