PILLBOX (TYPE FW3/28A): S0001994 (Removed)

Traces of the former Newmarket and Chesterfield Railway. It ran close to what is now the A11. It opened to goods in January 1848 and passengers in April of that year forming the first direct line from London to Newmarket. It was closed in 1851, after financial problems, when another company built the line from Cambridge to join it at Six-Mile Bottom station (closed 1967) and extended from Newmarket to Bury St Edmunds. It was formally taken over by the ECR (Eastern Counties Railway) in 1858 and immediately dismantled by them. (Race-goers heading for Newmarket tried on a number of occasions during the C19th to get the line reopened to avoid delays at Cambridge!)

Railway to Cambridge (to left) from Bishops Stortford (to right) and Liverpool Street.
