This station is on the North Staffordshire Railway main line south from Stoke and designed by H A Hunt, the architect of Stoke-on-Trent Station.
The station is located on a junction of the Colwich to Manchester spur of the West Coast Main Line, but has platforms only on the branch from Stafford to Stoke-on-Trent.
It was built 1839 in the angle between two lines and is approached head-on. Its three ogee gables, repeated at the back, with deep mullion windows, all in patterned dark red brick, closely resemble his work at Stoke.
By road: On B5027, near A34.
