Full Description
Tydd Railway Station was opened in August 1866. The station was initially proposed in 1853 as part of the Norwich and Spalding Railway, but was not actually constructed until 1866, when the Midland Railway took control of this part of the route, which connected Sutton Bridge with Wisbech. It notably became a branch line station of the larger Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway line between Spalding and King's Lynn, after its formation in 1893. The station was closed for all traffic in March 1959, after which the platforms and most of the station structures were demolished. Structures at the station included a goods shed and a station master's house. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}{6}
