Sutton Town (more photo's)

1. End-wall of the deteriorating upside building.

2. Bricked-up waiting room fireplace.

3. Locally made bricks.

4. The desolate upside building before the trees took over. Photo taken by R.Paddison around the 1970s. According to John Bassett ("Cross City Connections") the building was bought by two conservation-minded couples in the 1970s. A number of railway relics stored in the building were sold off in 1977. Plans to use the rooms as a sort of railway museum came to nothing, and the buildings were abandoned after local youths set fire to them. Who owns the site now I have no idea.

5. Detail of the downside building, now in use as an office. Note the windows added to the roof since becoming offices.

It's odd to think that although this station was the first to close back in January 1925 - exactly 40 years before the other 4 stations along the Sutton Park line finally came to end - Sutton Town is the only one with practically all buildings intact !
