Cutler's Green was named due to the ancient and long-dead cutlery industry in Thaxted.








Cutlers Green Halt on 30th June 1951. This was the last station before Thaxted, initially the station had a bench, it was not as primitative as Henham as there was a gents toilet. The place was remote, merely a platform in the midst of fields. A footpath led off to the village.
