Broughton Astley Station and Down local train
View southward, towards Rugby; ex-Midland Rugby - Leicester line. In the days when thousands of tons of coal had to be conveyed daily from the Midlands coalfields to London and the South-East, a number of coal trains from Toton and other yards ran to the yards at Willesden (Sudbury Junction) in addition to all those up the Midland Main Line via Wellingbrough to Brent Sidings (Cricklewood). However, by the 1960s this line was superfluous and was closed (with the station) on 1/1/62. The train is a Rugby to Leicester local, headed by LMS Fowler 4P 2-6-4T No. 42352.

Melton Waste Company, Broughton Brickworks
Derelict brickworks in use as a scrapyard. When we were there the ground showed surveyor's marks for redevelopment and it is now an housing estate. The flooded claypit is now a large "water feature". The stationary steam engine was removed for preservation elsewhere.
