Lavenham

The passenger service through Lavenham ended in 1961 and the last train departed in 1965, but by 1977, when this photo was taken, the building was surviving in good repair. Built in the same style as the stations on the nearby Stour Valley route, the choice of brick colour gave it a particularly pleasing appearance. Unfortunately, notwithstanding its good condition, it stood in the way of someone's ambition and was demolished the following year.
