Norwich City Station.
The station was opened in 1882 by the Lynn and Fakenham Railway, and later became the southern terminus of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway (MG&N) line from Melton Constable. The station became well-used, with services to Cromer and through-carriages to a range of destinations including Peterborough and Leicester.
The station was badly bombed in the Baedeker raids of 1942 when the main building was largely destroyed and thereafter the station operated from “temporary” buildings constructed on the site. It was closed to passengers on 2 March 1959 along with most of the Midland & Great Northern system. The Main Line of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway was closed, on economic grounds. Essential maintenance work was considered too much to be justified. This pre-dated the Beeching Axe of 1962.
The station remained in use for goods traffic until 1969.

To the right of The Reliance Garage (which is in the centre of the image) are the premises of The Soman-Wherry Press Ltd (with a small square tower fronting Heigham St.), printers formed during WW2 by amalgamation of A E Soman and The Wherry Press. Across the road from the frontage of Soman-Wherry became the site of The Crocodile pub, newly built during the 1950s to replace a former pub on the site which had been bombed during WW2. The Crocodile was then closed in the early 1970s and was converted to offices of The Soman-Wherry Press. |
