Burwell railway station was on the Cambridge and Mildenhall branch of the Great Eastern Railway.
After the closure of the line, the site of Burwell station was redeveloped, initially as a cardboard factory, and then a few decades later as a housing estate. The names of the streets Station Gate and Railway Close hint at the site's past usage.
