Route of old railway towards Rugby
Route of old railway towards Rugby
It is far from obvious, but a railway used to pass here where there is now a heap of manure. The railway ran from Leicester to Rugby, although it was never more than a branch line. The last trains ran in 1962 and the intervening years have all but eliminated any trace of it.
