Knapton’s Lost Railway

We take look back at the railway that ran through Knapton over the sixty-six odd years of it’s history and how it changed lives, for a while at least.

We view our station as it was, with steam and diesel… we follow the line and re-visit the other stations along our coastal line and discover why they were built there in the first place… including all FOUR of Cromer’s railway stations…

we find a WW2 mortar emplacement… and we ride on the Ghost Train…

We hope you enjoy our little overview and we have provided our acknowledgement of resources below should anyone want to know more. Enjoy.
