Bluestone railway station was a station in
Corpusty and Aylsham North. It opened in the late 19th century, to serve the surrounding farms and settlements, and closed in 1916 owing to poor use.[2]
It was located between the villages of Heydon and Oulton, with the station lying just within Heydon's civil parish. RAF Oulton, a now-disused airfield, was constructed in 1939-40 between the village of Oulton and the site of the station.
