Endon railway station

The Stoke–Leek line was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway in 1867 and a station to serve the village of Endon was opened in November 1867. Endon marked the end of a single track section of the line from Milton Junction . The station had two platforms and quite extensive good facilities. Running from the station was a private siding that served the factory of Harrison & Son, this siding was unusual in that it crossed the nearby Caldon Canal by means of a swing bridge. Also due to the close location of the station to the canal was a limestone tippler for the transfer of limestone from railway wagons to canal boats. The tippler was authorised in 1904 but not built until 1918–1919 and only remained in use until the late 1920s when the decline in canal traffic led to its closure.
