Description
The Thurston and Bayley Company in Scarborough, primarily a wholesaler of clams and clam meats, was owned by Earle Thurston and Paul Bayley. The company delivered and picked up clams from customer's homes, spawning a cottage industry. The building was originally set next to the B&M railroad tracks, but in 1956 an overpass was built over the tracks, forcing the Thurston and Bayley building to move back several feet. When the station was discontinued around 1962, it was moved to the Thurston and Bayley plant and used as an addition. The station section was totally demolished in a fire in 1998. Seafood products are still processed there, but the owner is Stanley Bayley and it is named Bayley's Seafood Processing Plant.
