I presume you mean Mapesbury. Napsbury is near St Albans.

My paternal grandfather spent his last years in a mental hospital there.
I think it has been pulled down by now.

It has indeed, and apparently once even had it's own siding at the
former station.

I suspect the redevelopment and all the new homes may have been the
impetus for (re)opening a station. One piece from 4 years ago
suggested 7500 new homes.

Thanks for the update. I have lived in Birmingham for many years, but I
still like to hear stuff about the old territory.
