Description:Ingestre and Weston Station was owned by the Stafford-Uttoxeter Railway Company. When this photograph was taken the station no longer served passenger trains.

The Stafford-Uttoxeter line opened in December 1867, but nineteen years later the company folded and the line was then acquired by the Great Northern Company.

Passenger traffic was withdrawn in 1939, but the line was kept open for milk traffic. The high cost of maintenance proved too expensive and the line closed in 1951, having never shown a profit. It was broken up in 1959.
