Coryton (Essex) railway station
Coryton railway station served the village of Kynochtown (later Coryton) and the Coryton Refinery in Essex, England, between 1901 and 1952.
==History==
The station opened on 22 June 1901. Its original name was Kynochtown after the workers' village nearby. The original station had a wooden platform 100 ft long, with a building housing male and female toilets and a waiting shelter, also made of wood.〔Kay 2008, p. 25〕 It was lit by large oil lamps. During the First World War, the station's platform was extended at both ends in wood. In around 1917, a further extension in brick was added.〔Kay 2008, p. 47〕 After the war ended, the Kynoch site was sold to Cory Brothers of Cardiff and the station was subsequently renamed Coryton, along with the village.〔Gotheridge 1985, p. 40〕 By this time, it was realised that the station (indeed the whole railway) would never be so busy again, so the wooden platform was demolished, leaving just the brick extension, with a ramp made from old sleepers added at its left end.〔Kay 2008, p. 58〕 The station building was resited at ground level a short distance away. The brick platform itself had one metal seat, but no other facilities. There were a number of sidings at the station, which became overgrown in later years.〔Gotheridge 1985, p. 43〕
