Barton and Walton railway station

Barton and Walton railway station

Barton and Walton railway station was opened as Walton in 1839 by the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway on its original route from Derby to Hampton-in-Arden meeting the London and Birmingham Railway for London.

The village of Walton-upon-Trent itself is in Derbyshire, but the station was in Staffordshire.

Originally it may have simply been a halt, but under the Midland Railway it acquired substantial brick buildings. The station closed in 1958 [Pixton, B., (2005) "Birmingham-Derby: Portrait of a Famous Route," Runpast Publishing]
