Construction and opening

The station was on the NSR Waterhouses branch line from Leekbrook Junction to Waterhouses. The single line branch was authorised on 1 March 1899 by the Leek, Caldon Low, and Hartington Light Railways Order, 1898,[5][6] and construction took several years, the line not opening until 1905.

The station at Winkhill was a later addition to the line. Although a station was included in the original tender for construction of the branch line, it wasn't until 1908 that a single siding for freight traffic was provided at the location and another two years before a station was constructed for passenger traffic.[1]

Station layout

The station had a single platform and a single siding with limited goods facilities.[7]

Closure

The branch line was never a financial success and passenger services were withdrawn on 30 September 1935.[8] The station remained open as a goods station until May 1964 when all traffic on the branch except mineral workings from Caldon Low quarries was withdrawn.[3]
