Looking down from Helmdon Viaduct onto the trackbed of the Stratford and Midland Junction Railway which ran from Blisworth to Banbury and was opened some 30 years before the Great Central Railway.A station was sited amidst the trees on the horizon and a station was also built for the GCR about a mile south of the viaduct. Hard to imagine a village this size having two stations but now there are none.
