Alton Station

Farley, United Kingdom

Alton is a former railway station in Staffordshire, England, which served the village of Alton and the country estate at Alton Towers. Opened in 1849 by the North Staffordshire Railway, the station was a stop on the Churnet Valley line. In 1954, the station was renamed Alton Towers. After its closure in 1965, the station site was purchased by Staffordshire County Council in 1969 to curtail persistent vandalism of the station building. In 1979, it was sold to the Landmark Trust, which reverted the site's name back to Alton and converted the former station buildings into holiday accommodation.
