Daventry was a railway station serving the town of Daventry in Northamptonshire, England. It was on the Weedon to Leamington Spa branch line. The station opened on 1 March 1888 when a branch from the main line at Weedon reached the town. This line was extended in 1895 to reach Leamington Spa.[1]
The station was located to the east of the town centre, and was made mostly from wood. It was on a passing loop and had two platforms linked by a footbridge. The main station building was located on the down (westbound) platform, with a small waiting room on the up platform. Adjacent to the station were some goods sidings.[1] The station was closed to passengers on 15 September 1958, however the line remained open for freight until 2 December 1963.
Nothing now remains of the station. It was demolished in January 1968, and the A425 Daventry bypass built over the site.[1] However some of the former trackbed to the north of the station remains in use as a footpath and cycleway.
Long Buckby railway station is now the nearest station to Daventry, being about 4.5miles away.
A scale model of Daventry station made by Roger Bagnall is exhibited at the Daventry town museum.[2]
