Attercliffe railway station
- Attercliffe railway station
Attercliffe railway station was built to serve the Parish of Attercliffe cum Darnall, then separated from but now part of the City of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England.
The station was situated on the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway company's line between Woodburn Junction and Tinsley Junction which was served by trains between Sheffield Victoria, Barnsley and Rotherham Central. Access to the station was by a footpath from Worksop Road. At the stations opening this was the main road between Attercliffe, it left the main Sheffield-Rotherham road opposite the parish church, and Darnall. The station consisted of two platforms flanking the lines and these were linked by a subway.
The original station was opened in August 1871, closed on 31st December 1900 and replaced by a new structure which opened the following day. The station was closed on 26th September 1927 but is remembered by the "Station Hotel" on Attercliffe Road, a short distance away which had, or may still have, a fine pictorial sign depicting a station porter at work on the station.
Earthworks of the station platforms are still visible as is the subway, now bricked-up, from the towpath of the Sheffield Canal alongside which the railway runs. Access to the Barnsley / Rotherham-bound platform station is still available from the footpath from Worksop Road adjacent to the overbridge.
