Gunton Station, Norfolk

Gunton station was on the East Norfolk Line of the Great Eastern.

It connects Norwich to the North Norfolk coastal towns of Cromer. There is no village called Gunton, the station being actually situated in Thorpe Market. Gunton station was built primarily for the convenience of Lord Suffield who lived at nearby Gunton Hall, who was a major investor in the original East Norfolk Railway Company, which built the railway from Norwich to Cromer.

Gunton’s splendid station buildings are now beautifully preserved and are privately owned.
