The site of the station was taken over for the construction of the Railway Inn public house.[2] It is believed that the abandoned station was reconstructed around ten years after closure when it reopened as an inn to capitalise on the newly opened Pampisford railway station.[2] What is more, it appears that approximately one-quarter to one-third of the inn comprised the actual brickwork of the station.[2]
