Hanley railway station

Hanley railway station is a former railway station which was built by the North Staffordshire Railway as part of the Potteries Loop Line and served the town of Hanley, Staffordshire, England.

History
The original station opened along with the first section of the Loop in 1864, but when the latter reached Burslem in 1873, a new station was built on a sharp curve (8 chains radius) in a cutting below Trinity Street. The old station remained in use for goods traffic.

No trace of the main station exists today, only real trace of the station that is still standing is the top of the station wall that can be seen near rear of the car park, the cutting is filled in and is the site of the car park of the former Grand Hotel (previously the Stakis Hotel, then the Quality Hotel and now the Best Western Hotel).
