Salcey Forest

Considering this station closed 125 years ago, the platform is in very good condition. It was only open for four months from 1st December 1892 before succumbing to economics - it was remote from housing, roads, and even the forest it was named after, which started some way to the South. The goods shed was demolished in 1908, the signal box in 1912, and the station building (to the left in this view) in the 1950's - the ground it stood on has reverted to agriculture. Stoke Bruern see image 35956 opened and closed on the same dates, but has survived as a house. View looks East.
