Today this is part of the Shrewsbury to Chester line. It was at the top of the long climb up Hencote bank out of Shrewsbury. The station opened on 12 October 1848 and closed on 12 September 1960.[2] The station building (now a private house) can still be seen on the north side of the adjacent Leaton level crossing on the east side of the line.
