The rather nice station roof. The Victorian station buildings were opened on 9 October 1848. The other buildings located in Winton Square, including the North Stafford hotel, were opened in June 1849. All these buildings were constructed by John Jay to the design of H.A. Hunt of London, using an architectural style referred to as ‘robust Jacobean manor-house’
The station was built by the North Staffordshire Railway Company. The station building retains much of its mid-Victorian character, including a classic glazed roof that spans the platforms, and is now a Grade II* listed building.
