Site of Leamington Spa's first station
The 1960/70's housing development known as The Spinney is build on the site of Leamington's first railway station. It was opened in 1844 as the terminus of a single track line from Coventry. After the line was extended through to Rugby in 1851 the station moved slightly to the south west and became a through station - for more details see

Rugby Road railway bridge replacement, Royal Leamington Spa, Easter 2022
A once-in-a-century view: the old bridge has been lifted off its abutments and transported to the construction site. Only the lineside services, in a protective tube, span the road. Machines are taking the abutments down to the required level for the new bridge. The big green machine is solar-charged battery-powered floodlighting.
