The cottage with the chimneys marks the location of a level crossing which was at the far end of the station. The latter was closed to passengers in 1958 and has disappeared without trace. It is unclear why the station was named Crow Park, a neighbouring estate, rather than the village of Sutton-on-Trent which it really serves. The footpath on the left is a replacement for the pedestrian facility across the railway at the level crossing site.
