Cromer High railway station

Cromer High (then just "Cromer") shortly after opening

Cromer High railway station was the first station opened in Cromer, Norfolk, in England. It is situated to the south on the outskirts of the town on a steep escarpment.[1] Built initially by the short-lived East Norfolk Railway, the station (along with the line) was incorporated into the Great Eastern Railway, who had operated the services from the beginning.[1] It served as the terminus of Great Eastern Railway services from London and Norwich. Initially named Cromer on opening, it was renamed Cromer High on 27 September 1948.[1]

The station opened on 26 March 1877. Because of steep gradients near the town, the station was built in open fields some distance from the town itself. The station resembled in design Chingford railway station, opened in 1878, another GER branch line terminus.
