Description:This is the closed station at Madeley Road. This view looks east towards the West Coast Main Line. The station, on the line from Stoke-on-Trent to Market Drayton, was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway in October 1870. It was originally named Madeley but altered to Madeley Manor during May 1871, only to be renamed a few months later in August as Madeley Road. It was closed by the London Midland & Scottish Railway with effect from 20 July 1931.
