1. Railway townA railway town, or railroad town, is a settlement that originated or was greatly developed because of a railway station or junction at its site. In Victorian Britain, the spread of railways greatly affected the fate of many small towns. Peterborough and Swindon became successful due to their status as railway towns; in contrast towns such as Frome or Kendall remained small after being bypassed by main lines. Some entirely new towns grew up around railway works.
