Description:The railway station at Sandon was built in 1849 for the convenience of guests visiting the Earl of Harrowby at Sandon Hall.

The covered entrance provided protection to the Earl when he alighted from his coach during bad weather.

The station closed in 1955. When the line was electrified in 1962 the platform and portico were removed. In 1970 the station was bought by the Sandon estate; the building was restored in 1985 and is now a private residence.
