Winton Square
The land remained under the ownership of the church until it was purchased by The North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) in 1846 with the intention of building its principal station and headquarters there.Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, in the Staffordshire edition of The Buildings of England, described it as "the finest piece of Victorian axial planning in the country".[3] The square was arguably the main focal point for the town of Stoke-upon-Trent prior to its amalgamation into the much larger city of Stoke-on-Trent in 1910.Above the window is a parapet into which the NSR's coat of arms is engraved, and below is a row of seven Tuscan columns which protrude out from the main structure.[1] The houses, which are symmetrical on opposite sides of the station are built in an "L" shape and are now used as offices; both terraces are grade II listed buildings.
