Cresswell railway station was a railway station located on the Stoke-Derby line at Cresswell, Staffordshire, England. It was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway in 1848 and closed in 1966.[1]
The station was located near the Izaak Walton pub and had a substantial building and a small goods yard. It became the junction station for the Cheadle Branch Line in 1892.[1] When the latter closed to passengers, the sidings remained in occasional use for another 20 years, mainly sand traffic from Cheadle.[2]
The level crossing was converted to automatic barrier operation in 1989, whereupon the signal box was demolished and the junction was lifted.[3]
There is no trace of the station today.
