Clifton Mill railway station was a railway station serving Clifton-upon-Dunsmore in the English county of Warwickshire. It was opened on the Rugby and Stamford Railway in 1864.[1]
History
Parliamentary approval was gained in 1846 to the directors of the London and Birmingham Railway for a branch from Rugby to the Syston and Peterborough Railway near Stamford.[3] In the same year the company became part of the London and North Western Railway. The section from Rugby to Market Harborough, which included Clifton Mill, opened in April 1850.[1] Originally single track, it was doubled in 1878.[4]
At grouping in 1923 it became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway. The station closed on 6 April 1953[2] and the line closed in 1966.
Site today
Station Road leads from the village centre terminating in a small Mill Lane. Some distance along the former are a number of buildings, where traces of the old track bed may still be made out.
