Chapeltown Central railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chapeltown Central railway station was situated on the former South Yorkshire Railway's Blackburn Valley line between Grange Lane and Westwood. The station which was also known, at some time, as Chapeltown and Thorncliffe was intended to serve Chapeltown, near Sheffield, South Yorkshire, although about a mile from its centre. It also served the works of Newton, Chambers & Company, one of the largest industrial companies in the area.

The station consisted of two staggered platforms linked by a footbridge and was rebuilt in the M.S.& L.R.'s Double Pavilion style in the 1880s.

Closure to passengers came on 7 December 1953 and to all traffic in April 1954.
