Description:A 'Special' train passing through the closed Wall Grange Station.

Wall Grange Station was opened in 1873. The line was originally constructed as single track throughout from Milton Junction (where the line diverged from the Biddulph Valley line) to Leek Brook Junction. In 1910 it was doubled for half its length between Endon and Leek Brook. This photograph was taken after closure to passenger traffic in 1956, and before the line was reduced to a single track in 1971.

The Caldon Canal is behind the platform. The station was originally built with a single platform, but a second platform was added when the line was doubled. The station is now (2016) a private residence.
