Flecknoe
(1895 - 1952)
Flecknoe railway station served the
village of Flecknoe in Warwickshire, England, on the Weedon to
Leamington Spa branch line. The station was built in a remote
location in open countryside around 1.5 miles north-west of
Flecknoe, it also served the small nearby hamlets of Sawbridge
and Lower Shuckburgh, both within a couple of miles of the
station
The station consisted of a single wooden platform with a wooden station building, which contained the waiting room and stationmaster's office. There were also some small goods sidings alongside the station
The station was opened on August 1 1895 along with the other stations on the Daventry extension of the line. It was closed during the First World War from August 1917 to March 1919
The station's remote location and low passenger usage meant that it closed to passengers on November 3 1952, however, the goods sidings remained open for business until October 1956. The passenger service to the other stations on the line survived until 1958, and line survived carrying freight until December 1963
Nothing now remains of the station, as all of the station buildings have long since disappeared, however the cutting where the station stood is still clearly visible, spanned by a road bridge from which the site can be seen. A row of cottages which once housed railway workers stands a short distance to the north of the road bridge
