Bradfield railway station served the village of Bradfield in Essex. It was on the Manningtree to Harwich branch line, which is today known as The Mayflower Line.[2] It closed in 1956.
Consisting of just two through platforms it had no sidings for working local goods traffic, which was the normal scenario in rural East Anglia.[3] The station buildings on the up platform were particularly splendid for a very small station and were captured by the well known and popular transport artist Malcolm Root FGRA.[4] The facilities on the down platform were very modest by comparison.
The station had a very restricted catchment area and with a local population of just 730 in 1901 and 811 in 1961, passenger numbers were always very limited.[5]
A level crossing at the west end of the station was controlled by a signal box on the up side with just 12 levers.[6]
