caption_attribution_description: English: Burwell Station (remains). View westward, towards Cambridge; ex-Great Eastern, Cambridge (Barnwell Jct.) - Fordham - Mildenhall branch. The station was closed on 18/6/62 when the passenger service ceased, but it remained open for goods until 19/4/65 when the last section of the line (Fordham - Burwell) was closed, Barnwell Jct. - Burwell and Fordham - Mildenhall having been closed on 13/7/64: hence the remaining signs of activity in this 1963 photograph.
context_page_description: Burwell is a large village and civil parish in Cambridgeshire, England, about 10 miles north-east of Cambridge. It lies on the south-eastern edge of the Fens. Those to the west are drained with the help of man-made Cambridgeshire Lode waterways, including Burwell Lode, which has been important to the growth of the village.
context_section_description: Road access to Burwell is primarily through the B1102 Cambridge to Mildenhall road which runs the length of the village, and from the B1103 which links the village with Newmarket. The A14 passes along the southernmost edge of Burwell parish on the Cambridgeshire–Suffolk border, but cannot be accessed without leaving the parish.
  Public transport is provided by Stagecoach in Cambridge bus route 10 running through the village between Cambridge and Newmarket. Stagecoach took over what used to be Cambus in the mid-1990s, Cambus itself having split from the Eastern Counties Omnibus Company in 1984. Eastern Counties absorbed Burwell and District in 1979, the local bus company having provided transport to nearby Cambridge, Newmarket and Bury St Edmunds, and to destinations further afield, such as Great Yarmouth and Felixstowe.
  Between 1884 and 1965, railway station stood in the south of the village, served by the Cambridge to Mildenhall railway. The station closed to passengers in 1962, and although nothing of it remains, its presence is acknowledged in the names of the streets Railway Close and Station Gate on the site of the former station. There was also a halt on Newmarket Road to the south-east of the village. The B1103 still goes over a railway bridge on the site.
  To the north of the village, temporary tramways provided access from the nearby Ipswich to Ely Line to the local brickworks, situated near the Lode.
  Burwell Lode is navigable up to the edge of the village at Anchor Lane. The Lode joins Reach Lode in the north-west corner of the parish before they confluence with the River Cam at Upware, 5 miles from Burwell.
