County School Railway Station is situated about one mile north of the village of North Elmham on the Mid-Norfolk Railway. In 1849 a railway line was opened as part of the Norfolk Railway's extension from East Dereham to Fakenham. County School Railway Station was however not built until 1886 as its purpose was to serve the private school from which it took its name. In 1903 the school became the Watts Naval School although the station name remained unchanged. The stationmaster's house is unusual in so far as it was originally the lodge house for the school so its style reflects the school rather than the station. Within the Mid-Norfolk Railway restoration plans it is proposed that the station serve as the northern terminus of the line whilst the restoration of the line to Fakenham is considered; at present no trains operate at the station.
