Overstrand railway station
Overstrand railway station was a station in North Norfolk on the Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway, serving the settlement of Overstrand.[1] It opened on 3 August 1906 and was much used in the summer months by holidaymakers.[2]
The station was host to a LNER camping coach in 1938 and 1939.[3] Two coaches were also positioned here by Eastern Region of British Railways in 1952.[4]
The station closed when this part of the line closed to passengers on 7 April 1953.[2][5] Since 1959 the station has become a private house.
