Colton Parish

I am replying to question about the Crewe School Layout of Rugeley Trent Valley Station. You may recall the teacher who was involved with it was Maths Teacher Mr Brian Metcalfe . Sadly Brian passed away peacefully on the 13th February 2023 at Leighton Hospital in Crewe aged 86 years. The layout still exits with Brian who has left it to the LNWR Society and they have no means of storing it. However a friend of one of the society members who owns the former Railway buildings at Rugeley Trent Valley Station and has kindly offered to store it for the society. In the future it is hoped that the layout it can be displayed in Colton Village Hall over a weekend for people to visit. But at present it is in the very early stages of planning such an event. Rugeley Trent Valley Station is in Colton Parish with the River Trent being the boundary between Colton and Rugeley Another claim to fame for Rugeley Trent Valley Station is it is the only station which a reigning monarch has arrived and departed from the station.
