The line was carried south of the village on an embankment which has been removed in front of the building, although part of it can be seen on the right; the platform was at what is now first-floor level. For a view taken c.1950, see picasaweb.google.com/117987557225330473962/StaffordToUtto... (upper photo): the station building is largely obscured by the signal box (which would have stood to the left in my photo), but the single-storey platform elevation can be seen, as well as the falling ground level behind the signal box.

The station was on the Stafford and Uttoxeter Railway, opened in 1867 and purchased by the Great Northern Railway in 1881 in an attempt to reach Wales. Passenger services ceased in 1939 and goods in 1951, although the last train, an enthusiasts' special, ran some six years later: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stafford_and_Uttoxeter_Railway .

Presumably 19th century. Not listed.

Built in 1840-2 to the designs of Thomas Trubshaw at the expense of the Earl of Shrewsbury. The design was described by Pevsner as "architectural roguery" [ The Buildings of England: Staffordshire (1974), p.229] and by Colvin as displaying "a perverse originality" [ A biographical dictionary of British architects, 1600-1840 (3rd edn., 1995), p.995], perhaps somewhat unexpectedly since Trubshaw was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.

The pub claims great antiquity - its former website stated that it had been licensed in the reign of Charles II - but the building is not listed. Cf. a postcard view postmarked in 1910: www.search.staffspasttrack.org.uk/Details.aspx?&ResourceID=37850 .

Built in 1840-2 to the designs of Thomas Trubshaw at the expense of the Earl of Shrewsbury, with the bellcote and a rose window placed, unusually, at the east end, so that they face towards the village. The design was described by Pevsner as "architectural roguery" [ The Buildings of England: Staffordshire (1974), p.229] and by Colvin as displaying "a perverse originality" [ A biographical dictionary of British architects, 1600-1840 (3rd edn., 1995), p.995], perhaps somewhat unexpectedly since Trubshaw was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.
