After the sad passing of the Duke of Edinburgh, here is an EDP article on the Norfolk farm where he spent the last years of his life. The origins of the farm as a royal residence start with Prince John, the youngest son of George V, who resided at Wood Farm from 1917 until his death there in 1919. It is also used to accommodate divorced spouses of royals such as Sarah, Duchess of York, during holiday periods. What type of activities did the Duke undertake at the Farm and what activities did the Queen undertake when she stayed there? There are some lovely pictures of Wolferton Station which closed in 1969 and this is very well preserved and worth a visit. You can imagine the royalty and dignitaries getting off the train and heading to Sandringham. To find out the answers to these questions and more related information please select the following link:
