The nearest railway station is at Stafford. The nearest main roads are the A51. which skirts the north eastern boundary of the village. The ancient village and parish of Weston was a forest clearing on the outskirts and was part of the Chartley Estate which was sold off in 1904. The high ground meant that the surrounding land was well drained with a good water supply from the nearby River Trent. This small settlement was also located at the intersection of the London - Lichfield - Chester road and the Shrewsbury - Stafford - Derby road (the current A51 and A518 respectively). The road from Stafford originally forded the Trent. In the late 18th Century a flood washed away the bridge there. It was later replaced by a single arch stone bridge in the 19th century. Weston was a centre of salt production in the 19th century, with saltworks both in the village and at the nearby hamlet of Shirleywich.
