Chapeltown (GC)
Location
Opened
Rebuilt 1880's
Closed 07/12/1953

Chapeltown Central railway station was situated on the former South Yorkshire Railway's Blackburn Valley line between Grange Lane and Westwood.

The station which was also known as Chapeltown and Thorncliffe was intended to serve Chapeltown, although about 1 mile from its centre. It also served the works of Newton, Chambers & Company, one of the largest industrial companies in the area.

Picture Sheffield Link - this seems not be working at the time of amending (15-11-2011)
