History

The station was opened in 1864 by the North Staffordshire Railway on the company's Biddulph Valley Line. Originally called Ford Green the name was changed in the 1880s to Ford Green and Smallthorne. The Biddulph Valley line had opened in 1860 and was primarily concerned with mineral traffic, mostly coal and ironstone from the collieries and ironworks along the Biddulph Valley.Шаблон:Sfnp Passenger services were of a much lesser interest to the NSR so it was not until a few years later that a number of stations were opened supported by an infrequent number of passenger trains.

Passenger traffic was never intensive and by 1922 all the places along the valley were better served by bus services.Шаблон:Sfnp Consequently, the London, Midland and Scottish Railway withdrew the passenger services in 1927,Шаблон:Sfnp although the station continued to be used for excursion trains until the 1960s.Шаблон:Sfnp Full closure of the station occurred in January 1964.Шаблон:Sfnp
