Rockingham railway station was a station just south of Caldecott, Rutland. The station was actually over the county line into Leicestershire, and was named after the village of Rockingham, Northamptonshire, which although one mile distant and smaller than Caldecott was thought to be more important because it is the location of Rockingham Castle. The station opened in 1850 as part of the single track Rugby and Stamford Railway line of the London and North Western Railway (although it actually joined the Midland Railway at Luffenham), but in 1873 the line was doubled and became part of a new Rugby to Peterborough East route. The Great Northern Railway also provided trains between 1880 and 1916. At grouping in 1923 it became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway. February 2014: In very private ownership, the station house is visible from the road just south of Caldecott. So, is the dilapidated wooden platform shelter (though this does not look like it will survive for much longer!). The old coal shed is still standing and in remarkable condition. The pub opposite has some interesting old photographs of the station in its heyday. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rockingham railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
