Dunmow Railway Station
Dunmow railway station was a station serving Great Dunmow, Essex. The station was 9 miles 38 chains (15.25 km) from Bishop's Stortford on the Bishop's Stortford to Braintree branch line (Engineer's Line Reference BSB).
History
The railway line through Dunmow was built by the Bishop's Stortford, Dunmow and Braintree Railway (BSD&BR). The line, including Dunmow station, was opened on 22 February 1869, and on the same day the BSD&BR company was absorbed by the Great Eastern Railway.
Regular services ended on 3 March 1952, but the station was last used by excursion trains in August 1964. It closed to goods on 1 April 1969. The site and trackbed have been used for the B1256 Dunmow Bypass and no trace of the railway remains.
