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]
