Railway line at Church Brampton
Image: © Bob Walters Taken: 24 Oct 2022
Looking northwest from the railway bridge near Church Brampton. There used to be a station here, on the other side of the bridge, but it was only open from 1912 to 1931, built to serve the new Northamptonshire Golf Club nearby, but little used. To the south of the road there is a row of houses named Railway Cottages which once were occupied by railway track workers. Indeed, they are called Fog Cottages on old maps, this presumably referring to the railway workers second occupation as 'fogmen' who were stationed along the track in foggy weather to lay detonators and help signal trains when the normal signals were difficult to see.
