 Considering Norwich City Station was the main terminus on the M&GN line it is surprising so little of the structure remains. During the 1970’s, when the inner ring road was under construction, the platform infill was robbed out and used to build the mound on St Crispin’s roundabout and as hardcore for the duelling of nearby roads. The houses on Barker Street were demolished and the road extended south east.
In 1976, local photographer Mark Dufton visited the site before the foliage took over completely and found the bay platforms. From 2011 Friends of Norwich City Station (FONCS) began digging at the site to preserve what is left of the station and surrounding buildings. Their work was focused on Platform One where a wall was found and the bay area cleared of undergrowth. Their hope was to uncover all the railway related parts to the area and turn it into a memorial garden as a tribute to the station and all who served the railway, including planting flowers and small bushes, notice signs and information boards of old pictures and M&GN benches. According to Jon Batley of FONCS, most of the station remains are there but were buried under tons of sludge when the river bottom was dredged. It is just a question of digging down to it. |

| This steam locomotive - a D16/3 4-4-0 - might be 62534. If so its home shed was South Lynn, by King's Lynn. The locomotive was built at Stratford in 1903 and later rebuilt by the LNER in circa 1933 |
