History

Gorleston Barracks were established in 1853. There were to be three railway stations in the town on the Yarmouth-Lowestoft Line. The stations on the line were Gorleston-on-Sea, Gorleston North and Gorleston Links, which all closed between 1942 and 1970. The closest railway stations are now Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth.
