Photo by Nick Catford ![]() In 1976 The London Brick Company cleared part of the station site for storage, mainly for hollow clay bricks as seen here in February 1977. Between the fence and the bridge (behind the photographer) the cutting was partially filled burying the platforms.

Photo by Nick Catford ![]() Aerial view showing the site of Warboys station. Puddock Hill runs south-west to north-east having reverted to its original alignment before the railway was built. It now runs through the middle of the station site. The road bridge can be seen centre right. Between the bridge and Puddock Hill is a darker green strip of land; this is the infilled cutting, the platforms being buried beneath the infill. The trees on the right surround the surviving Pingle Wood cutting on that side of the bridge. The building at the road junction (top right) is the former Railway Hotel which is now a private house. On the left the road once led to the brickworks which is now a landfill site.
