Lees railway station

Lees railway station was opened in 1856 at Lees, Greater Manchester as part of the London and North Western Railway route from Oldham to Greenfield. The station closed in April 1955, when the Delph Donkey passenger train service to Delph via Greenfield was withdrawn. Not far from the station was Lees Engine Shed which remained open until 1964. The entire route between Oldham and Greenfield was closed shortly afterwards.
