HistoryThe station was first opened by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway on 1 May 1848 (as the eastern terminus of the Liverpool and Bury Railway) originally being named simply Bury.[1] Services ran east to {{stnlnk|Heywood}} and {{stnlnk|Rochdale}} and west to {{stnlnk|Bolton}} and {{stnlnk|Wigan Wallgate}} (and also towards Chorley, Liverpool & Preston). There was also a connection from here northwards to neighbouring Bolton Street station on the East Lancashire Railway line from Clifton Junction to Bacup & Accrington. The station was renamed twice: to Bury Market Place in February 1866, and to Bury Knowsley Street in 1888.[1] The line and station were closed on 5 October 1970 as part of continuing cutbacks in British Rail services and the line west to Bolton subsequently dismantled. AccidentOn 19 January 1952, the station footbridge collapsed under the weight of a large crowd entering the station following a football match. Two people were killed and 173 injured when the metal struts supporting the bridge's footway failed. No trains were in the station at the time. The accident report determined that while the bridge's design was adequate, it had been inadequately maintained and the metal struts which failed had almost certainly required replacement for 10 or 15 years prior to the accident.[2] CurrentThere is no physical trace of the station buildings (which were demolished soon after passenger services ended) or the disused platforms (these survived until the early 1990s). The line from Bury Bolton Street to Heywood through the station site was reopened in 2003 by the East Lancashire Railway. This had stayed open to freight (along with the old ELR route to Rawtenstall) until December 1980 and had previously (from March 1980 until final closure) crossed what is now the Manchester Metrolink line to Bury Interchange (though it was still BR-operated at that time) on the level. In order to reopen the route, a bridge (with steep approach gradients on either side known locally as the hump) was constructed in the early 1990s & opened to traffic in July 2003[3] to carry the ELR line over the Metrolink and this now occupies the old station site. The route towards Bolton is now overgrown & derelict and has been blocked at Bradley Fold by a housing development.
