Sheffield - Manchester express at Hazlehead Bridge

The eastern section of the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway, between Sheffield (Bridgehouses) and Шаблон:Stnlnk, was opened on 14 July 1845, but originally there was no station between Шаблон:Stnlnk and Dunford Bridge; it had been intended to provide one at Hazlehead Bridge, with bus connections to Huddersfield, but the approach roads were not suitable, and the buses ran to Dunford Bridge instead.Шаблон:Sfn

Following petitions from local inhabitants, a station named Hazlehead was opened on 1 May 1846Шаблон:Sfn (as was a station at Dog Lane, near Dukinfield), and the Huddersfield omnibus served Hazlehead station from August.Шаблон:Sfn

The original station was closed in a cost-cutting measure, along with Dukinfield Dog Lane. Oxspring and Thurgoland on 1 November 1847.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn It was reopened at the start of August 1850, and renamed Hazlehead Bridge on 1 November that year;Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Bradshaw's Railway Guide continued to use the old name for a few months, but only on the table dealing with down trains (i.e. towards Manchester).Шаблон:Sfn

At the station, the line fell in the Sheffield direction on a gradient of 1 in 124 (0.81%).Шаблон:Sfn The station was built in stone with the main buildings on the Sheffield-bound (Up) platform and a waiting shelter on the other. A high signal box of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway's early type, almost square with hipped roof, controlled the station and the entry to the branch line which served the Hepworth Iron Company's works at Crow Edge.

An accident took place at the station on 20 December 1907 when the lean-to building added to the station only a few years earlier was demolished.

The station closed to passenger traffic on 6 March 1950Шаблон:Sfn and to goods traffic in May 1964.
