Transport

The Chemin de fer d'Anvin à Calais opened a railway station at Journy in 1881.^[5] The railway was closed in 1955.^[6]

The local newspaper l'Independent reported that in April 1908, 70 acres (280,000 m²) of the Dornes and 35 acres (140,000 m²) of woodland of Journy were burning, with a fire still burning 3 hours after the passing of the train, which justified a police investigation.^[7]
