Hazelhead station

Hazelhead station

Hazelhead station, sometimes referred to as Hazelhead Bridge because of its position adjacent to the bridge over the Huddersfield Road, was a railway station on the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway 's Woodhead Line. It served villages scattered over a wide area.

The station was built in stone with the main buildings on the Sheffield-bound (Up) platform and a waiting shelter on the other. A high signal box of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway's early type, almost square with hipped roof, controlled the station and the entry to the branch line which served the Hepworth Iron Company's works at Crow Edge.

An accident took place at the station on 20th December 1907 when the lean-to building added to the station only a few years earlier was demolished. The station closed to passenger traffic in March 1950 and to goods traffic in May 1964.
