Butterton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Butterton is a small village in the Staffordshire Peak District of England (grid reference SK075565). It is west of Wettonmill in the Manifold Valley and north of Grindon. The village is just to the west of the limestone area, and so is mainly built of local sandstone. It was formerly on the old pack-horse route to the copper mine at Ecton
Butterton was served by a railway station which was opened by the Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway on June 27, 1904, whilst being entirely operated by the North Staffordshire Railway.
