Leek had a substantial station and goods yard, but competition from road transport led to the withdrawal of services to Stoke-on-Trent in 1956 and the remaining passenger services to Uttoxeter in 1965. Freight workings continued until 1970. The site of the station is now occupied by a Morrisons supermarket, although the road bridge is still in situ between the car park and petrol station. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leek_railway_station
