The Story of Denbigh Hall

Description

The London and Birmingham Railway experienced construction delays with the Wolverton Viaduct and the Kilosby Tunnel. The directors were anxious to open the line for Queen Victoria;s coronation in the Spring of 1838 and their solution was to detrain passengers at a place called Denbigh Hall and take them by road to Rugby. Denbigh Hall was no more than a roadside inn which became, for a few months in 1838, an unlikely terminus.
