Empty track bed at Winkhill Station
In early 2014, the track between the former Ipstones Station and Cauldon Lowe was lifted, in preparation for re-laying with new track that could carry heavy freight trains. Unfortunately, the merger between Lafarge and Tarmac that occurred around the same time resulted in a government enquiry into a possible unhealthy monopoly. In the mean time, the railway scheme was suspended.

Mineral Railway
This branch of the North Staffordshire Railway was built in the early 1900s to serve the limestone quarries at Caldon Low. Although it is currently disused, the track has not been removed and the line is technically only "mothballed". A passenger service also ran down a branch to Waterhouses, where it linked with the Manifold Light Railway. The house, to the left, is called Station House and is at the location of Winkhill Halt. The white tower in the background is the cement works at Cauldon Lowe.

Crossroads near Winkhill
Looking along The Casey (between Foxt and Winkhill) at the crossing with Ellastone Road. The road also bridges the railway line between Leekbrook and Cauldon Lowe: the stone wall on the left is the parapet of the bridge. The railway track of this section has been removed.

Winkhill Station crossroads
Roads meet on the bridge over the disused railway to Waterhouses. The modern signpost is informative, but much less attractive than its traditional forebears.
