You are more likely to get a response on here if you ask for pictures of the railway station!

Edit, also the new members area is not the best location to post your question. I would suggest you try again in the prototype area follow the link to find it.

"Train Station"........That most reviled of phrases !

I tend to agree, which shows we're probably from the same generation, but it should be realised that there are many younger people here who have possibly only heard them being referred to as 'train stations'.

Then surely it is our duty to educate those youngsters ?

There are some pictures of Windsford and Orton station on disused stations.org.uk.

Found by searching Google then images.

You'll have to search through the volume indexes as I can't remember WHEN it appeared, but Railway Bylines had an article on Winsfords branch line termini with photos and maps.

 

And yes, it's RAILWAY STATIONS!

I thought the OP asked about 'Winsford', which is on the WCML, north of Crewe?

Fat controller: The ‘Winsford’ station on the wcml is actually in Wharton rather than Winsford itself but as mentioned there used to be a branch line into the town centre but off the ‘Cheshire lines’ just after cuddington station (I think it’s now a public footpath for most of its length) but a quick google map check shows it’s not near a ‘station road’ at all but the current wcml station is so from what I can make out the OP would like to see pics of the current station in the 50s maybe?

 

Edit: a quick look at disused railways reveals a 3rd station at over and Wharton too

Over and Wharton was a branch line off the LNWR. A double track one IIRC. There was a track plan in the Railway Modeller many moons ago. There don't seem to be many photos of the present WInsford Station on the net, bar those in its modernised form.

 

The LNWR Society might be able to help.

Having been brought up on the Western, I'm quite used to stations not being in the place whose name they carry; the only time I worry is when I see 'Road' as a suffix to the station name.

I recollect Over and Wharton having sidings full of wooden-bodied opens carrying salt for road-gritting.
