Opened in 1881 by the North Staffordshire Railway on what is today the line from Derby to Crewe, this station replaced no fewer than three earlier ones nearby. View east towards Marchington and Derby. In addition to these two platforms, there used to be another two out of view to the far left which curved sharply northwards towards Rocester and Ashbourne. All trace of those two platforms has been removed. Four years after this image was taken, a footbridge was built. See Image for a 2020 view from a similar camera position.
