The former station building before it was demolished.

Wisbech St Mary railway station was a station on the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway line between Wisbech and Peterborough. Located in Wisbech St. Mary, it is now closed.

The station building is no longer standing, having been demolished in around 2006 to make way for a new housing development on Beechings Close.
