Information on Stoke-On-Trent Station
Stoke-on-Trent station lies on the Stafford to Manchester branch of the West Coast Main Line serving the city of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire in central England.
The station was designed by H.A. Hunt architects of London and constructed by John Jay with Jacobean-style frontage building opening on 9 October 1848. The same team were also responsible for the buildings in Winton Square including the North Stafford Hotel which opened in June 1849.
Stoke-on-Trent was the home of the well respected North Staffordshire Railway, a locally inspired network of railway lines built to carry the local products and workforce of the coal and pottery industries which were the main areas of industry within Staffordshire.
The North Staffordshire Railways emblem was the Staffordshire Knot nicknamed ‘the Knotty’, with its company headquarters of its 144 miles of railways and 116 miles of canals based in the station buildings until its amalgamation in 1923.
Today the station which is a Grade II listed building retains much of its mid-Victorian character which includes the glazed roof that spans the platforms, a plaque commemorates the Queen’s opening of a new foyer which leads to the Up platform via broad arch and on the reverse side a discreet war memorial with brass nameplates naming the NSR employees who fell in the First World War.
Staffordshire University currently lease a self contained area including the whole upper floor of the station known as the Winton Chambers, they also lease Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 Winton Square. The University’s main campus is in College Road off Station Road and in Leek Road.
A statue of potter Josiah Wedgewood (1730-1795) which was sculpted by Edward Davis and erected in 1863 and stands directly opposite the station entrance.
Virgin Trains who manage the station submitted plans in April 2007 to turn the former goods yard that lies behind the northbound platforms into a 264 spaces car park for passengers using the station.
