Totally unplanned, I just happened to catch a glance of this through some trees while on my way home from work today (I was in Norwich), and for a change I had my camera with me (might have something to do with visiting St Andrews again earlier ;) )

Pulled off at the next exit, turned left and arrived at two little buildings that I didnt have a clue what they were until I got home and looked on google.

Not much here, but it was a lovely little place to have a look round...



Hethersett train station and signal box. Hethersett is in Norfolk, England. This station was situated on the Great Eastern Railway Main Line and was opened in 1845. The station was closed in 1966.

Thanks for looking :)
 
Pretty little building - I prefer the outside shots :)
Nice little bonus find for the day!
 
I found it in exactly the same way! Little beauty!
Fantastic photos by the way!

It looks like it's been cleaned up since we visited?

Amazing it's still there after being closed so long, even if it is just bricks and mortar left!

Any more photos of the FDD? It supplied RAF Coltishall on the other side of Norwich.
 
what's this? And the fence in front of it looks incredibly low lol....

I get the feeling I've started this exploring a few years too late, everything seemed so much better a year or two ago

FDD? Whats that :neutral:

Not sure, if you look to the extreme right of the photo you can make out a yellow truck, there were loads of them there with people milling about so getting into that bit for a look didnt seem too good an idea, the fence is down an embankment, it's higher than it looks.
 
The FDD (Fuel Distribution Depot) is the military compound that Derelict UK pointed out. It was originally used for storing fuel oil and then later aviation fuel for RAF Coltishall, which closed in 2006 thus leaving the FDD with no use either. Apparently it's now owned privately after a sale in 2009, although nothing seems to have been done to it.

Thanks, I might have a look next time work sends me off to Norwich :)
