Pitts Hill railway station served the Pitts Hill area of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England.
The station what was listed for closure under the Beeching Report in 1963 closed in 1964 and 1966 to passengers and goods.[2] Since 2005 there has been a monument put down to show where Pitts Hill Railway Station was but the site has been drastically altered since by the closure and rerouting of the A527 road, although the route of the Potteries Loop Line can still be traced.[3]
