Lower Edmonton (low Level) Railway Station
Lower Edmonton railway station was a station in Edmonton, London. It was known as Lower Edmonton low level to distinguish it from neighbouring Lower Edmonton high level. It was opened in 1849 by the Eastern Counties Railway as a link between two of the Lea Valley Lines.
It was shut to passengers in 1939 after general poor service and poor use. After this it was used by LNER as a goods station, before it was finally closed in 1964. The spur it once stood on has also been closed and built on. Edmonton Green Shopping Centre now sits on the former site of the platforms.
The high level station still stands, today known as Edmonton Green railway station.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.”
—Sarah Ellis (1812–1872)
