Beauchief railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beauchief railway station was a train station in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. The station served the communities of Beauchief, Woodseats and Ecclesall and was situated on the Midland Main Line between Millhouses railway station and Dore & Totley station, near Abbeydale Road South in Beauchief. The station was originally called Beauchief & Abbey Dale station.
The station was opened on the site of Hutcliffe Mill [1] at the same time as the main line from Chesterfield was opened and had 4 platforms although only 2 were in general use as there were 2 slow and 2 fast lines. It closed on 1 January 1961, and the site is now occupied by a nursing home, although the nearby Abbeydale Station Hotel survives as the Beauchief Hotel.
