Maldon East Station
 
Maldon East station was the terminus of a branch from Witham, which had been promoted by the Maldon, Witham & Braintree Railway with the intention of deepening the Blackwater and developing the port (the station is adjacent to the river quays at Fullbridge). The impressive station was built in 1847/48. The branch passed to the Eastern Counties Railway in 1848, who failed to make the Blackwater improvements. The branch passed to the Great Eastern Railway, London & North Eastern Railway and then British Railways. Whilst the Braintree-Witham section of the line survived the Beeching cuts, the Witham-Maldon East branch was closed to passengers in 1964, and for freight two years later. This spectacular building is still in use as an office and it was listed in 1969. With the recent huge growth in housing in Maldon, a fast rail service to London would have become very successful. The second line to Maldon East (via Maldon West) from Woodham Ferrers was opened in 1889, but closed to passengers in 1939.
