Cheadle North railway station
- Cheadle North railway station
Cheadle North railway station served the village of Cheadle, six miles south of Manchester. Named "Cheadle CLC" in its early days, it was opened on 1 February 1866 by the Stockport, Timperley and Altrincham Junction Railway (ST&AJ). On 15 August 1867 the ST&AJ was merged into the Cheshire Lines Committee (CLC) joint railway. The CLC survived intact at the 1923 UK railway grouping.
The station was located 0.5 miles north of Cheadle at the point where Manchester Road passes over the line on a bridge. The station was on the west side of the bridge, with the main buildings being on the south side of the line - these still survive in non-railway use. On 1 January 1948 the CLC was absorbed into the nationalised British Railways (BR) who renamed the station "Cheadle North" on 1 July 1950. The station survived a further 14 years until closure on 30 November 1964 as part of the railway closures under the Beeching Axe.
