Eye Green railway station was a station in Eye, Cambridgeshire on the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway line between Peterborough and Wisbech. It later came under the control of British Railways and was closed in 1957. The station's full name "Eye Green for Crowland" was a typical historic railway company fraud. A passenger would have a 3 mile walk to Crowland! The station was adjacent to the Northam works of the London Brick Company. There was a busy siding where bricks were hand loaded onto trucks - before the days of palletisation. There were through trains to Hunstanton, via Kings Lynn.
