Cheddleton station, south end
Cheddleton station, south end
A restored station building of the North Staffordshire Railway. It is grade 2 listed (List Entry Number 1188818) and dates from 1849 - only a year later than the main station in Stoke-on-Trent. In my opinion the contemporary wooden shed used as a cafe is an inappropriate addition and I am surprised it got planning permission.
Churnet Valley Railway
A preserved railway line near Leek in Staffordshire, running from Froghall up the valley to Cheddleton with one intermediate stop at Consall, and (since 2011) on an extension to a former quarry at Cauldon Low, where as of 2012 there is no station. The society has plans to connect to the national network at Stoke-on-Trent.

The lines were originally constructed by the North Staffordshire Railway (the "Knotty"). According to one writer, "the buildings on the Churnet Valley line are of local stone, straightforwardly neo-Tudor, and effective" [Lloyd & Insall, "Railway Station Architecture", David & Charles 1978, p.17].
