Wykeham Station, Roadside View, 1977
Wykeham Station was probably the most easily-spotted on the Forge Valley Line, standing as it still does on an embankment and visible from the main A170 road.
The station site was originally part of the Downe Estate, and, after the line closed, the land was bought back by the estate. The station became the Estate Office, and that’s still its function today.

Wykeham Station, Weighbridge Office, 1977
The weighbridge office at Wykeham was still intact when I visited in 1977, although of course no longer in use. Apparently it still exists today.
