Stoke Golding railway station is a disused railway station on the former Ashby and Nuneaton Joint Railway. It served the village of Stoke Golding. It closed in 1931[1] to passengers but closed to parcel traffic in 1951. Goods continued to pass through until 1962[2] when the line was closed from Shenton to Stoke Golding. The site is now a private residence and the goods yard is now an industrial estate.
