Belton and Burgh railway station

Belton and Burgh railway station was a station in Belton in Norfolk, on the outskirts of Great Yarmouth. It once saw trains on the main line from Yarmouth South Town to London, but was closed in 1959 as part of a major re-evaluation of the British Rail network, prior to the imminent Beeching Axe. It was on a connecting branch between Great Yarmouth and Beccles.

The site of the station can still be located. It is now a modern house where Station Road South meets Station Road North. A notable bump in the road signifies where the track once crossed. The station was on the left, travelling north to south, with the house having a "Platform 3" sign hanging by the driveway. On the right, an access road to a camp site is on the old track bed going off towards St. Olaves.
