Denstone railway station

The Churnet Valley line was authorised in 1846, and opened to traffic between Macclesfield and Uttoxeter in 1849. Denstone did not originally have a station but, in 1873, a station was opened at the site of the College Road level crossing; it was consequently named Denstone Crossing. In 1923, one of the last acts of the North Staffordshire Railway, before it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, was to rename the station simply Denstone.

The station was closed on 4 January 1965.^[2]

The platforms remain in situ, as part of a footpath to Oakamoor via Alton Towers, but a house has been built across the route of the line, adjoining the former level crossing.
