Guyhirne railway station
Guyhirne railway station was a station at Ring's End, near Guyhirn, Cambridgeshire on the Great Northern and Great Eastern Joint Railway between Spalding and March. It was opened originally by the GNR in 1867. An auction took place in 1867 of items linked to the construction of the railway.[2] It was closed to passengers by the British Transport Commission, due to low usage, in 1953.
