Crowden railway station is a closed railway station on the Woodhead Line between Manchester and Sheffield, that served the hamlet of Crowden, Derbyshire between 1861 and 1957.

History

The section of the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway (SA&MR) between {{stnlnk|Dinting}} (then known as Glossop) and {{stnlnk|Woodhead}} opened to public traffic on 8 August 1844, but initially there was no station between {{stnlnk|Hadfield}} and Woodhead.^[1] At the start of 1847, the SA&MR amalgamated with other companies to form the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&LR).^[2] On 1 August 1897 the MS&LR was renamed the Great Central Railway and this was merged with other railways to form the London and North Eastern Railway on 1 January 1923.

Operation

A local millowner, Brown & Co., donated £50 towards the cost of providing a station at Crowden; plans were drawn up in April 1857, but the MS&LR decided that the sum of £400 was too much and dropped the idea; however, they did not return the donation, and when Brown & Co. complained in May 1860 about their loss, the plan was revived, and the station was built, the MS&LR meeting the balance of the £450 total cost. George Benton of Glossop was contracted for the building work, but the necessary road improvements were provided by Manchester Corporation,^[3] the station being adjacent to the dam at the lower end of the Woodhead Reservoir, which belonged to Manchester Corporation. The station was opened on 1 July 1861.^[4]

Closure

The station was closed on 4 February 1957^[4] but passenger trains continued to pass through the station until January 1970 and the line was closed completely in July 1981.
