Cadishead 1st
(1873 - 1879)
Cadishead (1st) station opened on September 1 1873 when passenger services were introduced. In 1873, there was little settlement at Cadishead and the station had only basic facilities
compared to other stations on the line
The station was situated on an embankment with two platforms that linked to the road by slopes and steps. The station was served by trains running between Stockport Tiviot Dale and Liverpool Central. Many express services passed through the station along with a steady stream of goods services
The station was not well used as locals prefered to use nearby Irlam station and being un-economical it was closed on August 1 1879
A deviation was made necessary because of the building of the Manchester Ship Canal which required 75ft clearance for the ships that would use it. To gain that height the railway had reached the site of Cadishead station which was at a much higher elevation than the original line which closed in May 1893
The original line remained in use for goods services until September 1999
