Audenshaw railway station (1883–1905)

Audenshaw railway station served the western side of Audenshaw, Tameside. There were two London and North Western Railway (L&NWR) stations with this name in different locations within the Audenshaw area, this was the first one located in the west of the area adjacent to Ryecroft Hall.

The line through the station site opened on 1 March 1882 when the L&NWR opened the Ashton branch junction line between Droylsden junction and Ashton Moss junction.

The station opened as Audenshaw on 1 November 1883.

The station was located on an embankment opposite the junction of Manchester Road and Droylsden Road. The station had two platforms on the south side of Manchester Road, one each side of the two running lines. There were no goods facilities. The station building was at road level on the western side of the railway.

In 1895 the station had six services in each direction, to either Manchester Victoria or Manchester Exchange, all of them starting or terminating at Stockport. There was no service on Sundays.

The station closed on 1 May 1905. The line closed on 6 July 1969.

The overbridge has long been demolished. The station building still remains, in 2014 it was in use as a computer repair shop.
