Village sign for Cadeby, a village and civil parish in the Hinckley and Bosworth district of Leicestershire.
The sign is on Ashby Road as you enter the village, and features Pixie the loco (
visit link) and All Saints' church in the background.
Once rector of the church, "Rev Teddy Boston had an enthusiasm for railways which began as a boy. In 1962 Teddy, recently installed as Rector of Cadeby, purchased a 1919 Bagnall steam locomotive. Fifty years ago he began work on the railway which was to transform the Rectory garden. Cadeby's railway became a magnet for visitors in the years that followed with 'Pixie' the tank engine hauling thousands of travellers around the garden on 'The Bosworth Flyer'."
