The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.

Originally named after a public house, the station then passed on the name to a whole town. Only short trains now call at this formerly important station, so the outer ends of the platforms are abandoned to weeds.
