Attleborough station sign

Attleborough station is on the line between Ely and Norwich, between Wymondham and Thetford. I stopped off on a slightly grey day to take these pictures. The front of the station building, now in private hands, from the car parking area:

To the rear of the station building is platform 1, for trains eastwards to Norwich:

A level crossing, operated by hand from the signalbox at the western end of platform 1, connects the station's two platforms:

Over the road from the station building next to the level crossing is the "station bungalow", built according to the blue plaque in 1845, at the same time as the rest of the station:
