caption_attribution_description: English: Tollesbury Pier Station, Kelvedon and Tollesbury Light Railway, about 1907. Jack Gallant, Station Master at Tollesbury, stands at the well equipped little station with its smart name-board, fencing, oil-lamps, trolley and fire-buckets. He rode down on the train to carry out duties here as there was no permanent employee.
context_page_description: Tollesbury Pier railway station was a short-lived terminus of an extension of the Kelvedon and Tollesbury Light Railway, serving Tollesbury's pier on the River Blackwater in Essex. The station was opened in 1907. The station was 10 miles 8 chains from Kelvedon Low Level railway station.
  The c. 1.5-mile extension from the existing terminus at Tollesbury to Tollesbury Pier never brought the expected traffic. During World War I the pier was used for troop training on the river and was subsequently closed to passengers in 1921. The government took over the pier during World War II and erected defences along it.
