Save Our Stations: Historic Norfolk Annual Lecture

Many of our regional railway station buildings have been categorised as ‘redundant’ by Greater Anglia and are being left to decline and fall into disrepair. These buildings are of valuable historic interest and could be put to good community use. Find out more about stations with buildings at risk, particularly Brandon Station in Suffolk, and how Save Our Stations is campaigning to save our valuable railway heritage from further decline and ultimate destruction.

Piers Hart is chairman of Historic Suffolk which owns and operates Little Hall, Lavenham, Pakenham Watermill and Thelnetham Windmill. His interest in old buildings started at an early age, when he joined the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings aged 19 years. His interest in railways goes back even earlier, fostered by his grandfather the Rev. Howard Hart, a contemporary of Wilbert Awdry and one of many ‘railway vicars’ of the early part of the last century. Piers lives with his family in Suffolk just outside Thetford, where he ran his cabinet making business for some 40 years.
