A Memory of Charwelton.

My great grandmother, Mrs Burbidge lived in the house on Charwelton Hill, three fields away from the main road. Mother said a tin box was left by the road where post, bread and groceries were left. Later, in 1941 my grandfather, gran and my mum moved to a cottage in Hellidon where my gran was born.
My first memories as a child was going on the train from Rugby to Charwelton station with its large metal stairs going down to the two platforms.
At this time iron ore was still being dug out of the fields on the junction of the roads to Hellidon, Charwelton and Priors Marston, being moved by rail to Charwelton.
