The former mill and goods shed, now a Wynnstay and Spar

Much of the station site is still intact, with the platform retained as a conservatory onto the former trackbed, which has been converted into a children's play area. The station building is now a restaurant.

In 2025, Wynnstay embarked on a thoughtful renovation of this historic site, breathing new life into the building while honoring its rich heritage. The transformation reflects our commitment to preserving the past as we look toward the future. This site now serves as the new home of Wynnstay, blending rich history with a forward-looking vision.
