Quorn & Woodhouse Station

Quorn & Woodhouse Station was opened in 1899 as part of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway’s London Extension from Sheffield which became the Great Central Railway. During the 1920s the Prince of Wales who later became King Edward VIII was an occasional visitor as he enjoyed an outing with the Quorn Hunt. Express trains were stopped specially for him and he changed into his riding habit in the booking office with a porter posted outside. Today, just off the platform area, is a working signal box, originally from Market Rasen in Lincolnshire and there is the apparatus used to transfer mailbags to or from moving trains.
