Summary

Description
English: Tottington Station
The Bury–Holcombe Brook line was a 3¾-mile (6km) single-track railway line which ran between Bury Bolton Street railway station and Holcombe Brook railway station via seven intermediate stations. The line opened in 1882 but the closure of the local mills during the first half of the twentieth century led to a fall in passenger numbers. The last passenger train ran on 4 May 1951; freight trains continued to run until 17 Augur 1963. The section of the line from Greenmount to Bury town centre has been converted into a pedestrian and cycle route, the Kirklees Trail (also known as “the Lines”), forming part of National Cycle Route 6. Tottington station closed when passenger services were withdrawn in 1952 and it was demolished; very little remains of it. This representation of the station was erected in July 2021 as part of the Tottington Scarecrow Festival.
