Looking east at the remains of Swaffham station in July 1982, perhaps from the crest of the pile of material seen on the previous photograph. The south platform is to the right with the stationmaster’s house beyond the bushes. The goods shed is far left and beyond it is an industrial building constructed athwart the trackbed. A new industrial unit is under construction in the left foreground.
