Coryton (Essex) Railway Station
Coryton railway station served the village of Kynochtown (later Coryton) and the Coryton Refinery in Essex, England, between 1901 and 1952. History The station opened on 22 June 1901. Its original name was Kynochtown after the workers' village nearby. The original station had a wooden platform 100 ft long, with a building housing male and female toilets and a waiting shelter, also made of wood. It was lit by large oil lamps. During the First World War, the station's platform was extended at both ends in wood. In around 1917, a further extension in brick was added. After the war ended, the Kynoch site was sold to Cory Brothers of Cardiff and the station was subsequently renamed Coryton, along with the village. By this time, it was realised that the station (indeed the whole railway) would never be so busy again, so the wooden platform was demolished, leaving just the brick extension, with a ramp made from old sleepers added at its left end. The station building was resited ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
