Description:The station was on the main line from Rugby to Stafford. The station was built by the London & North Western Railway (LNWR) in 1847, having been designed by John Livock for the Trent Valley Railway, which became part of the LNWR on its formation in 1846. The platform canopy and footbridge were added in 1890-91. The platform and buildings were demolished in 1907-08 to make room for an additional two railway lines in connection with the widening from Colwich to Rugeley. A new station complex was built which lasted until the railway was modernised in the late 1960s, and was in turn replaced by a small shelter.
The railway lines are still in use (2022) and form part of the busy West Coast Main line.
The man crossing the tracks may be the Stationmaster at the time, John Robinson.
