Bob, The idiosyncrasies of links are beyond my understanding - but all you need to do is type in the location you wish to view (top left of the screen) and click on the spy-glass icon. Choose comparative view option, Satellite, O.S. Historical, etc., from drop-down menu on right half of screen. Stan L.

Finally sorted out the vagaries of the link. Found the stations and that Guyhirn has changed since I was driving. This came from my railway friemd:- "Murrow East on the MGN closed 2nd March 1959 and Murrow West (GN/GE) closed 6th July 1953."

Re Murrow...Have had this reply from my cousin: i have conferred with a friend, a little older than me, today and she was not aware of any railway properties on front rd, but there are 4 terraced houses on long drove up near the signal box that were railway cottages, now privately owned the marshalling yards did exist, they loaded animals and strawberries etc there, they were alongside the line which ran wisbech to peterborough. there may have been another along the other line because there is still a train type shed there I am sure I remember something about the marshalling yards being among the largest in England. Knowing my cousin there may be a sudden message with more info if it is available. David
