| Description |
English: Two and a half miles from Wymondham, Spooner Row is the smallest remaining station on the Breckland line, the village deriving its name from the manufacture of wooden spoons. The 36¾ mile Norwich & Brandon Railway, incorporated in 1844, backed by George & Robert Stephenson and built by Grissell and Peto, opened as the Norfolk Railway with a double track line on 30th July 1845. The station closed two years later during September 1847. Afterwards reopening on the 1st December 1855, closing
1 August 1860 and reopening for the final time on the 1st March 1882. Freight closed in July 1964 and the original station buildings were destroyed in the 1970s. Today a signal box, gated crossing and three former railway cottages remain. There are two commuter trains into Norwich and one late afternoon return journey. The manually operated crossing is soon to disappear under signalling improvements along with the signal box. |
