Opened in 1845 by the London & Birmingham Railway, later the London & North Western Railway, on the line from Northampton (Castle) to Peterborough (East), this station closed to passengers in 1966. View north east along where the tracks once were, towards the station, Ditchford and Peterborough. Taken from a few metres further back than Image, some 58 years previously, only that image would have been taken from where the dual carriageway now is. All trace of the former railway has been obliterated.
