Hassall Green railway station is a disused railway station in Hassall Green and Hassall in Cheshire, England.
The station was situated on the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) branch line to Sandbach from Harecastle. The line opened in 1852 to serve the salt and chemical works in the Sandbach area and passenger services were a very late addition, not being introduced until 1893, 41 years after the opening of the line.[3]
The station at Hassall Green was a later addition to the passenger service. Two intermediate stations on the line, Wheelock & Sandbach and Lawton opened in 1893 but Hassall Green was only opened in 1905.[1] The station marked the end point of a single track section from Lawton and towards Sandbach the line was double track.[3]
