Blenheim and Woodstock railway station

Blenheim & Woodstock was a railway station constructed in the neoclassical style which served the town of Woodstock and Blenheim Palace in the English county of Oxfordshire.

The station, as well as the line, was constructed by the Duke of Marlborough[1] and was privately run until 1897 when it became part of the Great Western Railway.

There were proposals for demolishing the building to make space for housing,[3][4] but the district council rejected them as "The former station building makes a positive contribution to the character and appearance of the Woodstock Conservation Area.

"[5] Approval was given only after the plans included retaining the station building.

[6][7] In 2013 the land behind the station building was built on as a small estate of high specification houses, and the station building was retained with no major changes to the main structure but small changes to the detail.
