150 YEARS OF RAILWAY HISTORY. On August 19th 2006 LOUGHTON marked the opening of its first Railway 
Station in 1856 and this, the town's third station, is located very close to the second that  dated from 1865. 
The lines to the town's original station would have been where I was standing when taking this picture and although 
replaced just 9 years later, the yard remained for a further 100 years or so. As can be gathered 'progress' in the 
form of a supermarket has now been built so the essential car park now covers  the site of the towns goods  yard.
