Talk:Heath railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

the name of the station Heath is correct, but the village it was in was called Holmewood, the next village. One of those oddities that occur. Heath was a much older village, Holmewood was a product of the Industrial Revolution, having two collieries, the first one had the shaft sunk, I think, in 1905, not quite sure when the railway appeared, I assume before the village was developed, hence the station name.
