The Locomotion No 1 Pub on Heighington Lane, formerly the Heighington Stationmaster’s home and ticket office, next to the level crossing, is vacant and up for sale. This was the station where the first locomotive to haul a passenger train was hoisted onto the track in 1825.
It is a shame for this historic building to fall into such bad repair and damage was caused when it was broken into recently.
We understand the building is for sale at around £350,000. It needs to be bought by someone with a train interest who could develop it into a themed pub and restaurant.
