Richard Cantrell – Leabrooks Central… in his back garden

Leabrooks Central is a unique, homebuilt replica railway station in Richard’s back garden. The idea came after Richard bought his partner Katherine a model of a 3F Jinty steam train she used to ride on during her childhood. This led to building a track for it roll on and a station for it to halt in. The build grew and grew. Their creation, which they have named "Leabrooks Central" has been adorned with model locomotives, a ticket desk, authentic posters and signage and a working clock, all in homage to Katherine’s family connection to the railway.
