Description:The Milford and Brocton Station opened in the 1870s and served the Trent Valley Stafford-Rugby line.

Milford was a very popular weekend destination for visitors in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Excursion trains ran between Stafford and Milford stations.

Milford station was much used during the 1914-18 War for transporting troops to and from the Army Camp at Brocton, and it was also where wounded soldiers arrived for the troop hospital there.

The station closed in 1956.
