Wortley railway station

Wortley railway station

Wortley railway station was a railway station on the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway lying between Deepcar and Penistone. It was built to serve the village of Wortley, near Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Wortley Hall, near the village, is the home of the Earl of Wharncliffe, long time associated with railway development in the area.

The station was similar to the others which opened with the line, with flanking platforms, slightly askew and linked by a footbridge, and a main, stone-built structure with canopy, on the Sheffield-bound platform. Because of its proximity to Wortley Hall the station had a private waiting room for the use of the Earl of Wharncliffe, his family and visitors.

The station, opened on 14 July 1845, was closed on 2 May 1955.
