Leek Former Railway Station, Now a Morrisons Car Park
Leek had a substantial station and goods yard, but competition from road transport led to the withdrawal of services to Stoke-on-Trent in 1956 and the remaining passenger services to Uttoxeter in 1965. Freight workings continued until 1970.

The site of the station is now occupied by a Morrisons supermarket, although the road bridge is still in situ between the car park and petrol station.
