Hunstanton Railway Station 1900s

 

 

A view of Hunstanton Railway Station in the early 1900s. Today a fun fair and coach park occupy the site. This view looking towards the buffers was obviously taken during the quiet time of the day.

The line was very popular with thousands of 'humblier citizens' each year with 'holiday trains' and 'excursions' "where the long island platforms could take excursion trains with up to a thousand people aboard and discharge them straight on to the promenade and pier" (Joby page 7)
