Question Actually

A Memory of Little Sutton.

Did Ledsham actually have a station? I've seen photos of what is titled Ledsham Station, but I've also seen a photo titled, 'Little Sutton, c. 1906' with a lovely sign above the building in the photo saying '1909', which has lead me to distrust photos from the past somewhat.

I've tried Googling for information on the station, but I cannot for the life of me find anything about it to see if it exists. The only reference I can find is on Wikipedia which has a reputation for false information. I'd like the people who lived here and have memories of seeing or hearing about the station from first hand sources to confirm it's existence to me. I've also tried looking on Google Earth for any evidence of its existence, but I don't even know if it's on the Ellesmere Port line or on the Chester line.

Any help would be much appreciated, and I love reading about the past of this village.

Thanks,

Yes, Ledsham did have a station! In my early teens I and a friend would pedal up to Ledsham station to trainspot. I can't remember the name of the road - I've lived in Cornwall since 1975 - but the Traveller's Rest pub was at the Little Sutton end of the road.
Coincidentally, my first experience of bar work was at the Ledsham Hotel, opposite the station.
