Thanks, i'll have a look!
I have recently posted some photos of this junction site and there is still an old concrete signal post laying on the old track bed very near to this junction. Look under "Lloyds siding" for the photos. The remains of the old iron works site and the brick field and kilns site are still there, close by.
Interesting. I was wondering about this junction, as i'm creating the route for Railworks. Towcester - Ravenstone Wood - Olney. Including the Blisworth Branch and a bonus section between Ravenstone Wood and Piddington Stations. All intermediate stations, bridges ect are included.
There certainly was a junction here, and the line crossed the Tiffield road on the level. Close by there was an iron works and brickyard with kilns. This siding went all the way to the brick works at Tiffield, and the clay pits and ironstone workings at Showsley and Easton Neston. This junction had it's own signal box and there were sidings off this to the iron works. When the Ravenstone Wood junction line from Towcester was built in 1891, a connection was put in at Easton Neston to the brick yards, and the junction at A to these was dismantled. See map below.
Was there a junction with point A and the Blisworth line at any pointin time?
