Wolferton Train Station is a tad over 2 miles from
Sandringham (the Queen's Country Retreat).
Between 1862 and 1911 over
600 Royal Trains arrived or departed from
the platform below.
Parts of the station are now a museum.
When you visit, you will find a guest book,
leaflets and cards at the end of the public platform
right behind where I am standing (below).
The station closed in 1962. The tracks are gone.
The waiting rooms on the left are now a private residence.
You are free to walk up the platform on the right and
around to the main entrance (below).
The little building (below) is full a memorabilia
including wonderful photos of the station and Royal visitors.
The Signal Box (above) is Grade II listed.
Located just across the street from the station.
Below is one more look from the street
to the main platform.
And, just to be sure you are in the right place -
have a look at this great sign up the street from the station.
The house (above) was built as the Station Master's House.
It is Grade II listed. Built in 1897.
My husband loves the old train stations. So do I.
If ever you visit East Norfolk and Sandringham,
save and hour to visit
Wolferton.
