It is situated on the B5067, Shrewsbury to Baschurch road, in the parish of Pimhill.

This was built in 1859, with the tower added in 1872,[1] by Shrewsbury architect Samuel Pountney Smith.

The signal box went in 1988, but today there remains a level crossing.

A small industrial estate now exists at the former railway sidings.

There once existed the Leaton Brick and Pipe Works, one of a number of clay-based industries in the area.
