SP7220 : Railway Cottage
near to Quainton, Buckinghamshire, Great Britain
Railway Cottage
This gate lies across the trackbed of the former Aylesbury & Buckingham Railway that was built in the 1860s. The next station to the north was Granborough Road, and the station to the south was Quainton Road. The railway had a varied history, and was closed to passenger services in 1936 when the line was part of London Transport, see SP7220 : Railway trackbed near Shipton Lee.
The house is called Railway Cottage and most likely there was an occupation crossing here, that is a crossing for a private track to a farm or house, and the cottage was for the crossing keeper.
