Ringley Road railway station
Ringley Road railway station was a stop on the Manchester, Bury and Rossendale Railway line; it was sited between and Clifton Junction, in Greater Manchester, England.
History
The station was opened on 31 May 1847 in a remote location and was therefore little used. The western platform was accessed by a pathway down from Ringley Road; the eastern platform was accessed by a subway at the southern end of the station.In 1879, it was the location of the apparent suicide of a collier who had been in the custody of a police officer for assaulting his wife. The collier had jumped in front of an approaching train and was crushed to death, almost dragging the officer along with him. A later inquest in Salford returned an open verdict.
It was closed on 5 January 1953.
