History
The station was opened on 3 July 1863 by the Great Eastern Railway. It was situated on the west side of the road leading to Mardocks Farm. It was known as Mardocks in RCH handbook and Mardock for Wakeside in the 1882 Great Eastern Railway timetable as well as the 1880s editions of Bradshaw. On the north side of the level crossing was a signal box that controlled a siding which served a goods yard and a cattle dock. Goods services ceased on 6 March 1961. The station closed on 16 November 1964.[1] The station building was demolished in 1975.[2]
