Dereliction of Felsted Station
Dereliction of Felsted Station
This used to be Felsted railway station, although located in Little Dunmow. It stood on the line between Braintree and Bishop's Stortford, which closed to passenger traffic in 1952.
The disused railway line is now a leisure trail called the Flitch Way.
A CCTV camera might be useful, as the site has become a fly tippers' paradise, with easy access from the road while offering suitable cover from prying eyes TL6621 : The Station House Felsted.
Flitch Way :: TL6221

Flitch Way is a 15-mile traffic free route for walking and cycling in north Essex. Most of the route follows a former railway line linking the towns of Braintree, Great Dunmow and Bishop's Stortford (just over the border in Hertfordshire). The railway closed to passengers in 1952, but remained open for goods until the early 1970s. Much of Flitch Way is on route 16 of the National Cycle Network.
