Stockton is a village and civil parish in the Stratford-on-Avon district of Warwickshire, England, with a population of 1,505 at the 2021 Census.
[3] By the early 20th century, Mssrs Charles Nelson and Co Ltd operated a large cement works half-a-mile north of the village which was closed and demolished in 1949.
There was a footbridge across the main line of the canal by the junction to give access to the cement works but no trace of the bridge remains.
Stockton was served by the former Weedon to Leamington railway line which crosses the northern edge of the parish.
The station, which was a short walk from the village, was called Napton and Stockton and also served Napton-on-the-Hill about two miles away.
It is now at the Natural History Museum in London; in recent years an image of an Ichthyosaurus has been used on the sign at the entrance to the village.
The publicity surrounding this event caused an increase in trespass in the main larger quarries, which had long been fenced off, and this led to several accidents.
Rugby Cement, who owned the site, built a substantial galvanised steel paling fence round a large part of the former quarries at a cost of roughly £70,000[citation needed].
