The station is close to Mill Meece Pumping Station, an early 20th-century preserved steam-powered water pumping station built by Staffordshire Potteries Waterworks Company. During installation of a second steam engine in 1926–7, parts were delivered to Standon Bridge railway station and transferred by horse and cart to the pumping station.

The station is also near to Swynnerton Army training camp, a large former Royal Ordnance Factory.
