Middle Drove railway station

Former railway station in Norfolk, England


Middle Drove was a railway station which served the nearby village of Tilney Fen End (situated 1 mile to the north northeast) near Downham Market in Norfolk, England. The station was opened in 1848 as an extension of the East Anglian Railway's line from Magdalen Road station (now known as Watlington) to Wisbech East. The station's location, like that of the neighbouring Smeeth Road station, was fairly rural and the line eventually closed in 1968. Middle Drove's station building survived closure, and has since been converted into a private residence.
