Daventry
(1888 - 1958)
Daventry railway station served the
town of Daventry in Northamptonshire, England. It was situated
on the Weedon to Leamington Spa branch line
The station opened on March 1 1888 when a branch from the main line at Weedon reached the town. This line was extended in 1895 to reach Leamington Spa
The station was located to the east of the town centre, and was made mostly from wood. It was on a passing loop and had two platforms linked by a footbridge. The main station building was located on the down (westbound) platform, with a small waiting room on the up platform. Adjacent to the station were some goods sidings
The station was closed to passengers on September 15 1958, however the line remained open for freight until December 1963
Nothing now remains of the station which was demolished in January 1968, and the A425 Daventry bypass built over the site. However some of the former trackbed to the north of the station remains in use as a footpath and cycleway.
