Yeldham railway station was located in Great Yeldham, Essex, England. It was a stop on the Colne Valley and Halstead Railway and was sited 62 miles 12 chains (100 km) from London Liverpool Street, via Marks Tey.[2]

History

The station opened on 26 May 1862 by the Colne Valley and Halstead Railway, on an extension of the line from Chappel & Wakes Colne to Haverhill.[3]

As with many rural lines, the rise of the motor car reduced patronage; the last train stopped here on 30 December 1961 and station was closed two days later. The tracks were lifted in 1966.[3]
