CHEDDLETON C.P. STATION ROAD
SJ 95 SE
5/103 Cheddleton Station
14.5.74
- II
Railway station. Circa 1849. Coursed dressed and squared stone;
banded pattern tile roof; verge parapets with roll-moulded ridge and
ball finials; diagonally-shafted and corbelled-out end stacks.
Tudor-style in 2 parts of single- and 2 storeys, the latter set-in
to right of centre (on the entrance front) (in a plan extended
the east side of the track) with gabled 2-light mullioned dormer window
to left and mullioned 2-light window to right; gabled single-storey
porch below dormer with Tudor-arch doorway and boarded door. Wing to
left set back half-gable depth with lean-to in angle; similar but
longer wing to left set on axis of taller part. Stepped 4-light
mullioned window to north gable and timber boarded canopy on square
columns to west side. The North Staffordshire Railway was opened
in 1849. Cheddleton Station was reputedly built at the instigation
of the Sneyd family and thus built in a style sympathetic to their
recently-constructed Basford Hall (q.v.), but actually closely related
to several stations on the line; Rushton Spencer(q.v.) is a notable
example.
