Description:Postcard view of the Cannock branch line over the junction of Horsefair with Armitage Road (left) and Brereton Road (right) in Rugeley.

Note the antler light fittings on the pier between the arches. Originally gas-lit, they were donated to the town by the railway company in 1859. They were removed in the mid-1970s. In October 2016 they were recovered, repaired and fitted with modern solar-powered LED lighting due to the efforts of Dave Lucas, with local councillors, the general public and local business and organisations contributing money and skill.
