Oakamoor station, Churnet Valley
Only the platforms are left of the Oakamoor station, but the Crossing keepers cottage still remains in use as a private residence near to the Oakamoor tunnel.

Two more for the collection; each credited to the StaffsPastTrack website:-
1. 1950's including (then) a British Railways' signalwoman
2. 1970's following closure of the line
(Maybe the gaffer on duty today would want to a new posting with the photos merged with the one previous and the nearest-exact photos side-by-side?)
JFI, no photographic records on Frith or Nick Catford's site either, but this location has a very photogenic quality so will be on the look out for more in the future.
