History
The Lynn and Ely Railway (L&ER) had opened between King's Lynn and Downham on 27 October 1846. On 25 October 1847, the line was extended to Ely; but in the meantime, on 22 July 1847, the L&ER had amalgamated with the Lynn and Dereham Railway and the Ely and Huntingdon Railway to form the East Anglian Railway. The station was opened with the line to Ely, and was originally named Ouze Bridge. It was approximately halfway between Denver and Hilgay Fen, which opened at the same time.
The station was renamed Ouse Bridge in April 1854, and closed on 1 January 1864.
