Oughty Bridge Station

Oughty Bridge was a railway station on the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway built to serve the village of Oughtibridge, near Sheffield, South Yorkshire. It may be that this was a misspelling on behalf of the railway company of the day, although the census from 1905 does show the village of Oughty Bridge (Yorks).^[1]

The station, which lies between Wadsley Bridge and Deepcar was opened on 14th July 1845 and closed on 15th June 1959.

The registered charity Don Valley Railway want to reopen part of the old Woodhead Route^[2] to Nunnery Square, and will rebuild Oughtibridge Station as part of this plan.
