Horninglow railway station

Horninglow railway station is a former railway station in Horninglow, near Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire.

It was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway in 1883 next to the level crossing of the A38 where it entered Burton.

The line itself dated back to 1848, and, from 1878 was shared by the Great Northern Railway (Great Britain) with its Derbyshire Extension

The station buildings were more substantial that at Rolleston, being a single storey of half-timbered brick construction. A small waiting room was added on the second platform at the request of the Board of Trade in 1888. It closed to passengers on 1 January 1949. The platforms were trimmed in the sixties and the building converted into a cafe. [Higginson, M., (1989) "The Friargate Line:Derby and the Great Northern Railway," Derby: Golden Pingle Publishing]
