Ashwellthorpe railway station - the stationmaster's house
Ashwellthorpe station was opened by the GER (Great Eastern Railway), serving as a cut-off line between Forncett and Wymondham. It later became part of the London and North Eastern Railway. The station was closed to passenger traffic in 1939 and to freight in 1951. The originally single-track line was used for main line diversion trains during the floods of 1912 and it was doubled for military purposes during WWI. The two porters' cottages, the station master's house and the station building including a very short section of the former platform are still standing but have since been converted into private dwellings.
