A 1951 aerial view of Whitemoor Yard showing the engine shed (far left), to its right the Down Reception Sidings and then Norwood Yard (with Trans-shipment Shed in the middle). Beyond these is the Down Yard and its outlet to Twenty Feet River. The Joint Line runs through the yard and to its right are the three parts of the Up Yard - the Reception Sidings (accessed from Twenty Feet River), the Main Yard and the Departure Sidings nearest the camera.

March had a strategic position in the movement of coal and industrial products from the Midlands and North to the Home Counties, as well as outbound traffic in agricultural produce from East Anglia.

This talk traces the history of both the station and marshalling yards through to the present day.
