Old station
Maldon East and Heybridge railway station served the town of Maldon and village of Heybridge in Essex, England. It was opened in 1848 by the Maldon, Witham & Braintree Railway (MWBR) on a branch line from Witham to Maldon. Originally named Maldon but itwas renamed Maldon East in 1889 and then Maldon East and Heybridge in 1907.
This terminus station was located at the end of two branch lines from Witham and Woodham Ferrers. A plan dated 1920 shows that the station had a goods shed and a two-road engine shed. A turntable was situated adjacent to the station building and there were sidings that served the Blackwater Canal and the river wharf.
The line and the station closed to passenger services in 1964.
The station building has survived and was, for many years, a restaurant. By 2013, it was largely surrounded by an industrial estate, although its impressive frontage can still be viewed from Station Road.
