This is a beautifully made short film, sadly what has replaced the station and hotel is a far cry from is grand Victorian predsesor
Agreed mate and many thanks.It’s such a shame they could not keep even at least a part of it as a heritage railway
Love Hunstanton. Brings back so many memories of departed family members and travelling the steam trains from March station
Thanks lot
Lots changed since also the old site now has flats built on there
Been visiting Hunstanton for over 30 years and never realised where the station was and just how big the site was. Thank you for illustrating so well with your fantastic video! Now a subscriber.
A sixties disease,without foresight or any thought for the local communities in them days...so sad really,would have liked the opportunity to ride the line ..ah well so much for progress Not!
What an evocative video, and the reason why TH-cam is so important. Thank you for posting.
I remember the crossing keeper there, and the excursion trains stabled there on sundays 1961 to 1967 era
Subscriber 86 right here! 😁
A shame about that hotel, I don't understand why it got torn down.
A lovely piece of work. Especially liked the fades from old to new, well done
Thanks so much
We sing to lose so much about heritage/ great film. Keep up the good work
Thanks so much
Been there many times with my grandma and grandad and somehow I knew it was originally a station
The good old days... thank you
thanks ever so much
Bloody hell, I just knew they couldn't resist the urge to demolish that charming old railway hotel !!!! Every day poor old England loses a wee bit of its past !!!!!!
Great video very interesting ,thanks.
Отель был очень красивым. Жаль, что убрали и построили на его месте ужасный сарай
What a great film well done. All that change and demolition hasn’t exactly improved things has it?
No not one bit mate
Lovely video 👍🏻 What a shame it’s all got pulled up 🙁 We’ve just had some lovely train journeys in the U.K. one from Kings cross to Inverness £48 each one way excellent value especially with the cost of fuel and the shortages we’re experiencing now 🙄 Sea side destination should be out back in 👍🏻
Beautiful music, sad to see such “progress”.
Great video but I just can't get over the irony of a busy railway station being turned into an empty car park or to use the rail Rail Management parlance a "lightly used" car park. They must be parliamentary parkings!
Senseless decision to close so many railways, no vision anymore
Thanks for the message mate so appreciated.I read a book and basically said that br mismanagement closed the lone stopping through services and just using the line for local use.basically what was made in the summer was lost in winter in its later days..even beeching said keep it open as it was profitable
So sad that a place can lose,
Such a lot, just by the lose of the railway.
Crikey, so that car park where I'd lock my bike to (as it has the ground anchors built in) was the station!
The whole route needs reopening with 25kv ac electrification. Enough said. Being 70th Jubilee week this would be a tribute to HM Queen Elizabeth 2
Great vid, Ive subbed, hope to see more of Norfolks sadly lost rail network
Thanks so much
After all the closures of the railways it didn't save the money they'd predicted so they could've kept them open
Sad the wonderful victorian hotel and station were lost to a awful new build and a car park some idiots on the planning board of back handers somehow must have concluded this was progress
So very sad to see this wiped from the earth. A very short sighted act of vandalism and it seems so very hard to put it right again :(
😢
So sad
Yet another disaster of Beaching removal of railways, o’h yes we would have a bus replacement service. Well we all know how long that lasted. Where’s the bus service between Watton and Thetford or Dereham. That railway service diapered like so many others.
Typical. Turn railways into car parks. How shortsighted and ridiculous 😡 . What a waste. They tell us to reduce omissions but close mass transit systems. Time to reassess people.
