I've been interested in this station ever since I read an account of its decay - netting and all - in its last years of operation in one of the Forgotten Railways books.
Jago Hazzard takes us through the history of this "magnificent missing station", and shows us what remains of it today. (A surprising amount.)
There's just time for a reminder that my man Richard Jefferies was not quite the child of nature that critics often assume. He spent a portion of his boyhood living happily with relations at Crystal Palace, just after Paxton's great glass building had been re-erected there.
