Description:View of the up waiting room at Consall Railway Station, looking towards Cheddleton. Unusually, it is supported by a cantilever holding it above the Caldon Canal. In the distance can be seen the Black Lion public house at Consall Forge.
Consall stands on the Churnet Valley Line of the North Staffordshire Railway and was opened on 13 July 1849. It was closed to passenger traffic in 1965. Since 1978 this stretch of the line has been the home of the Churnet Valley Railway and North Staffordshire Railway Museum. During 2002 the station building on the down platform was rebuilt and there are plans to fully restore the up waiting room.
