Eye Green railway station was a station in Eye, Cambridgeshire on the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway line between Peterborough and Wisbech. The station was opened by the Peterborough, Wisbech and Sutton Bridge Railway (PW&SBR) on 1 August 1866 and was originally named Eye; it was renamed Eye Green on 1 October 1875.[1] The PW&SBR was later part of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway. It later came under the control of British Railways and was closed on 2 December 1957.[1] The station's name as given in some timetables "Eye Green for Crowland" was misleading, since a passenger would have a three-mile walk to Crowland. The station was adjacent to the Northam works of the London Brick Company. There was a busy siding where bricks were hand loaded onto trucks - before the days of palletisation. There were through trains to Hunstanton, via King's Lynn.
