Ham Street Station building, looking east. Part of the building is still used as a dwelling. Commencing on 1 February 1897 the station was known as Ham Street and Orlestone, but the suffix was later dropped. The building retains it's unusual three-sided canopy. 08.08.2005

Looking south at the southbound platform at Ham Street Station. In the foreground is the passenger crossing between platforms. The 1907 map shows that there were originally wagon turntables either side of the line here. These enabled wagons in the southbound siding to be turned at right angles and wheeled across the track in the same way as passengers currently cross here. On the right of the camera there were three up sidings, but two of these led directly off the wagon turntable into what is now the car park. The effect was similar to a locomotive roundhouse. This side of the line also had cattle pens. 08.08.2005
