COLDSTREAM
-
Description
"...For most of its life this station was one of the select few in Britain to be situated in one country but to be named after a settlement in another. Coldstream is a small town in the Scottish county of Berwickshire (now swallowed up into Scottish Borders) but the station is in the Northumbrian village of Cornhill; this situation arose because of pressure by landowners who were reluctant to allow the railway to pass through Coldstream. Carham station, also on the NER Kelso Branch, was in the reverse situation as the village was in England but the station in Scotland...." -
