Brooksby railway station
Brooksby railway station was a former station serving the villages of Brooksby, Hoby and Rotherby in Leicestershire. The station was situated at a level crossing on the Brooksby to Hoby road. History
The station opened in 1846 on the Syston and Peterborough Railway. The station buildings were larger than most on the line, considering it served a small village. The stationmasters' house was designed by the architects William Parsons and Sancton Wood. The contractors T.W.& H. Herbert undertook to build it for £1,921. It closed in 1961. It remained in use for goods until 1964. The station became grade II listed building in 1979. Stationmasters
