Spink's Lane was a railway station in Wymondham. It was opened very briefly in 1845 to trains on the line from Norwich. However two stations in the relatively small Wymondham proved to be overkill, and Spinks Lane closed after only a few months.
The station building was still extant in 1983 but had been demolished by 1986.[1]
Today Wymondham railway station is the town's sole station.[2]
It was located on Spinks Lane, on the eastern outskirts of the town.[3]
