Lea Hall, Wimboldsley
Lea Hall is a former country house standing to the northwest of the village of Wimboldsley, Cheshire, England. It dates from the early part of the 18th century, and was built for the Lowndes family. During the 19th century the house was owned by Joseph Verdin. Additions, including dormer windows, were made in the 19th century. During the 20th century the house was divided into three flats. The house is constructed in red brick with ashlar dressings and a tiled roof. It is in two storeys, with an attic and a basement. The roof is large and hipped, with a viewing platform. The entrance front is symmetrical, in five bays, the central bay protruding slightly forward. This bay contains a doorway with a swan's nest pediment decorated with scrolls, and containing a crest with the initials J V (for Joseph Verdin). The authors of the Buildings of England series describe the house as a "perfect brick box, delightful if just a little funny to look at". It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.

Minshull Vernon railway station
Minshull Vernon railway station was a station on the Grand Junction Railway serving the villages of Warmington and Minshull Vernon. It opened on 4 July 1837 when the line opened.
Wishaw (1842) describes the intermediate stations on the line, such as this one, as "built in the cottage style, and without any pretensions to studied design".
The station is located on the south side of Nantwich Road (Middlewich Road a little to the south) which is now the A530. The road crossed the railway on an over-bridge, with steps down to each platform. The main station building appears to be on the up platform, to the east of the lines.
In the early years the station had two mixed trains in each direction. Times changed from year to year. By 1850 an additional morning train to Liverpool had been added.
The station was awarded a "Special Class" prize of £10 in the LMS station garden competition of 1925.
By 1939 the lines through the station had been quadrupled with the fast lines in the centre and the slow lines on the outside. Platforms were only provided on the outside of the slow lines.
The station closed in 1942.
The station buildings were demolished in the 1960s.
