Clifton Mill Station: lnwrclift1566
View of an unidentified LNWR locomotive on a local passenger
service approaching Clifton Mills station as it passes the goods sidings. The
station master's house is seen on the right and is a large building despite the
low importance of the station. It was railway practice for more than one
employee to be provided accommodation so in addition to the station master and
his family and in all likelihood a second employee, possibly a signalman, would
be boarded with the family. The passenger gate by the crossing is not directly
controlled by the signal box and neither were the gates being opened by station
staff on foot. This is the only photograph known to the author of the siding
and is a puzzle insofar as the village of Clifton was in itself small, without
any industry and whilst only about a mile from the station it was also only
approximately three miles from Rugby.
