Station building & goods yard, former Wells-next-the Sea station (now bookshop), A side view (from the south) of the former station building at Wells-next-the-sea. This view shows the associated goods office at what was the entrance to the yard. The buildings are remarkably intact considering that they closed fifty years ago. Lines from this Great Eastern outpost on the North Norfolk coast radiated southeastwards towards Fakenenham and thence onwards to Norwich. There was also a line that curved one hundred and eight degrees to then head westwards to Heacham where it joined the King's Lyn to Hunstanton line. Finally, there was also a short single track that led to the town's harbourfront where various fresh produce from the sea was loaded on to small wagons for onward and rapid distribution.
