Various shots of a train leaving Ingham Station in 1935

The first scene shows a shot of a steam train pulling away from the platform at Ingham Station. This is shot from a bridge just to the South. The next shot films the train from the platform. There is a sequence taken from a moving train. This is poor and shows very little. The first two shots are repeated. There is a brief scene of a farmer loading hay onto an elevator*. The first two shots are repeated again. The film ends with a still of the train in the station.

Background Information

Ingham Station was on the Thetford to Bury line. It was closed to passenger traffic on June 8th, 1953 and to goods traffic on June 27th, 1960. Ingham Station is now occupied by a contractor's offices and yards.Mr. Ottery wrote the following letter to the Archive in 1979.I have seen in the Great Eastern Railway Society's Newsletter ... an account of the East Anglian Film Archive and I at one thought of a film I took, ca. 1935, of scenes in the vicinity of Ingham, my ancestral home.I was then only 18 years old, and had managed to buy a 'Campro' - this was a 9.5 camera and projector combined ... Kodak made me a copy of the original 1935 film in 1975, which I now send you, to keep for the Archive.The station is Ingham, and the train leaving for Bury. The shot is from the road bridge just south of the station. The shots from the train are on the Cambridge to Liverpool Street run, taken on my return to London a few days after the Ingham shots.
