Grotton and Springhead railway station served the villages of Grotton and Springhead from 1856 until 1955.

History

The London and North Western Railway opened a branch from {{stnlnk|Greenfield}} to Oldham on 5 July 1856. Grotton was one of two intermediate stations which opened on the same day.[1]

On 1 April 1900, the station was renamed Grotton and Springhead.[1]

The station closed on 2 May 1955,[1] when the Delph Donkey passenger train service to {{stnlnk|Delph}} via Greenfield was withdrawn. The line remained in use for goods traffic until 1964. The station building still survives as a private residence.
