Remains of Wheelock station
The station platform has been rescued from vegetation. Wikipedia's helpful "List of closed railway stations in Britain" gives the date of closure as 1930 and the original station name as "Wheelock and Sandbach" although it was not very near the latter.

Former Wheelock station building
The front of this building, now a tyre depot, does not look like a former station; but looking round the back it is more obvious Image It also explains the presence of an old postbox.

Mill Hill Lane bridge
The bridge crosses a small brook, known locally as Dingle Brook though on the OS map it is shown as 'mill stream' near this point (the old mill is to the right of the photographer). According to the website romanroads.org, "The bridge and lane at Sandbach Mill preserve the Roman line so the river crossing point here is almost 2000 years old." A public footpath leaves the road to the east of the bridge.
