Maxstoke railway station

Maxstoke 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.

It was renamed Maxstoke in 1923 (while Forge Mills became Coleshill)

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. Freight services continued until 1939. 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 local farmer John Plum, began uncovering the platform fascia and brickwork.
