Maxstoke railway station was a railway station opened in 1839 as Coleshill by the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway on its original route from Derby to Hampton-in-Arden meeting the London and Birmingham Railway for London. The station served the village of Maxstoke and town of Coleshill in Warwickshire, England.
History
When the BD&JR built its alternative route in Lawley Street in 1842, the line, known as the Stonebridge Railway, lost its importance and the passenger service finished in 1917.[1]
It was renamed Maxstoke in 1923 (while Forge Mills became Coleshill)
Freight services continued until 30 April 1939.[2] The track was removed soon after and the station was demolished.
On 24 February 2014, a local volunteer from Birmingham, with the full permission of a local farmer, began uncovering the platform fascia and brickwork.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
