Dersingham, Norfolk
In 1862 the Lynn & Hunstanton Railway (L&HR) opened a line connecting King's Lynn and Hunstanton. It merged with the West Norfolk Junction Railway in 1874 to form the Hunstanton & West Norfolk Railway which in turn was absorbed by the Great Eastern Railway in 1890. At the grouping in 1923 it came under the control of the LNER and BR closed it to all traffic on 5 May 1969.

At Dersingham, midway between the two towns, the station house, both platforms, buildings, canopies and signal box survive intact, in use as offices and stores for Semba Trading (builder's merchant's). See also TF6733.
