Now I like Andy's title to his picture, which is succinct and to the point.
This is the former Cheadle Railway Station, opened in 1866, and closed to passenger traffic just two years shy of its hundredth birthday.
According to that excellent site Disused Stations, it was converted into a pub in the 1980s and "extensions have been added to the original building but in a sympathetic way".*
The entry also offers up a fascinating history of the railway station and the railway line, leaving me just to comment we often fall in to the pub after doing the garden centre" which is next door.
Location; Cheadle
