It’s amazing to think that a little place like Killamarsh alone once had three railway stations! Here in pictures are 13 Sheffield rail stations that we have lost – some are gone forever, while clues to the existence of the others remain if you know where to look.
1. Millhouses and Ecclesall Station
Millhouses and Ecclesall Station, pictured in 1979. It was called Ecclesall Station when it opened in 1870 and was part of the Midland Main Line, lying between Heeley and Beauchief stations. Entrance was via an overbridge on Archer Road. It closed in June 1968, remaining derelict until the buildings were removed a year after this picture was taken Photo: Sheffield Newspapers
2. Neepsend Station
Neepsend Station in Sheffield opened in July 1888 and was on the Woodhead Line which connected Sheffield Victoria and Manchester London Road stations. Passenger numbers eventually declined and it closed in October 1940 Photo: Submitted
