The line itself dated back to 1848, and from 1878, was shared by the Great Northern Railway with its GNR Derbyshire and Staffordshire Extension.

There was a small booking office, and general and ladies’ waiting rooms on the main platform, with an open-fronted shelter on the other.

The preceding station, Horninglow, also closed in 1949 but continued to be used by occasional excursion trains, but it is not known if this was the case with Stretton.

The station master's house has been a private dwelling since the line closed.
