Clarkefield.
Clarkefield was opened around 1862 as "Lancefield Road".
In 1881 the station became a junction when a branch was opened to Lancefield and the station was renamed "Lancefield Junction"

In it's "heyday" there was a lot going on here 


... now ... well it's pretty quiet, and has a lot less infrastrcuture.

The Cache.
