Would this station be in the Lake District? An anagram of "Walter D" is "LD Water" (oop North too, of course). Still have no idea what the station is though...
Church & Oswaldtwistle?
I fear not; @ls2270 has got it -- see below.
That's right: anagram -- "shuffling" the letters -- of "slouch & switch, Walter D."
Your floor.

The 'bar don' bit was OK though I had to Google the (John) Mill bit.
The centre of everything? Don't include America in that.

Some help, possibly:
In his debut game for the club after leaving Devon, he scored 4 goals.

Apologies if not clear, the 'Colin Lee' was help to the original clue above.
"Drinking and posting" not always a good idea; but, an utterly silly suggestion which might just yield something helpful. I think the football / Colin Lee stuff is a ruse to put us off the scent (except for "Lee" -- a syllable in my answer). I say the answer is Rayleigh. It looks and sounds rather like Raleigh, i.e. Sir Walter. Born and brought up in South Devon, he sought his fortune in places nearer the centre of things; including a number of ventures -- some by proxy -- to places overseas ("scoring four goals", a metaphor for this). America is not to be included, because of shame about his introducing from there, a commodity which later was discovered to be a scourge -- viz. tobacco. Easy, or what?

No (although your drinking and posting advice is sensible).
However, the 'Lee' part of the answer that both yourself and @plymothian got is correct. The 'America is not be included' comment is valid to the answer but the rest may as well have come from the President of the USA's mouth (and that isn't a clue in any way, shape or form).
Not sure if any of the above makes any sort of sense but good luck with it.

No. The answer has nothing to do with football, or any other sport that I can think of.

Well done, New Clee it is.
The centre of everything: nucleus
Don’t include America in that: take away the us
In his debut game for the club after leaving Devon, he scored 4 goals: as mentioned by @plymothian, Colin Lee did indeed score 4 goals for Tottenham against Bristol Rovers in October 1977 in his debut (new) game For the club after moving from Torquay United.
The floor is yours.

Admiral Hinton? If so, open floor please. If not, I'll carry on thinking.
I think you've got it arsey-versey, me 'earty: the station is Hinton Admiral, you'll find. Plainly, though, the drift was got correctly -- tick hereby awarded.
As per request, open floor.
