North End railway station was a short-lived timber-framed station opened in 1871 by the East and West Junction Railway on its route from Stratford-upon-Avon to Fenny Compton.

It was not well patronised and closed within two years. A further attempt to operate it the following year lasted until 1877. There are no known existing photographs of the station due to its short working life and unremarkable appearance. [2]

Bordon railway station

Bordon was a railway station on the Bordon Light Railway which served the English village of Bordon and its nearby Army Camp. The station building was constructed of corrugated iron on steel framing and stood on a short brick wall. Extra traffic during the First World War led to the extension of the station and the addition of a wooden canopy on its platform side. The station also had a small engine shed which was used in the line's early days for overnight stabling of engines. The shed was later to be damaged by an engine running through its rear, and it was left afterwards to become derelict. Eleven railway cottages were constructed by the London and South Western Railway near the station to accommodate staff: all were either semi-detached or terraced except no. 8 which was the stationmaster's residence. A small wooden signalbox located at the approach of the station completed the layout.
