It was very slightly simplified, and the platforms rebuilt, by the London and North Eastern Railway. The station was closed to passengers by the Eastern Region of British Railways in 1967 but reopened as Needham Market in 1971. The main building, not now in railway use, is Grade II listed and was restored in 2000 by Spacia Ltd, being given an award in the 2002 National Railway Heritage Awards.^[1]^[2]
