LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Nuneaton

Stockingford Station: mrs1084

Stockingford station seen after its March 1968 closure and now displaying a 'To Let' sign. Whilst the station building has not altered the only fixings left on the station are the fire buckets fixed to the side of the Gentlemen's toilet. Most likely filled with sand they were supplied to help put out the embers emitted from passing steam locomotives. With the final withdrawal of steam locomotives in August 1968 this would no longer be a preoccupation across the national network.
