Stockton Brook railway station is a disused railway station in Staffordshire.

History

The Stoke–Leek line was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) in 1867^[2] but it was not until 1896 that a station to serve the village of Stockton Brook was built. Situated on the single-track section of the line between Milton Junction (where the line diverged from the Biddulph Valley line) and Endon, the station had only a single platform situated in a shallow cutting. The station buildings were at street level. During the LMS period the station was known as Stockton Brook for Brown Edge.^[3]

Passenger services over the line were withdrawn in 1956 and the station closed. The station buildings remain in existence and are now a shop. The line through the station continued in use until 1988 for freight services and since then the line has officially been out of use but not closed.
