Abbey and West Dereham railway station was a railway station on the line between Downham Market and Stoke Ferry.
[1] It served the village of West Dereham and the nearby St Mary's Abbey, in Norfolk, England.
Opened as Abbey by the Downham and Stoke Ferry Railway on 1 August 1882,[2] the line was run from the beginning by the Great Eastern Railway (GER).
The station was renamed twice: on 1 January 1886 it became Abbey for West Dereham; and in 1923 as a result of the Grouping the GER became part of the London and North Eastern Railway and the new owners renamed the station Abbey and West Dereham, this occurring on 1 July 1923.
[2] The line became part of the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
