Transport
The Chemin de fer d'Anvin à Calais opened a railway station at Journy in 1881. The railway was closed in 1955.
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.
