Stockport Portwood
(1863 - 1875)
Stockport Portwood Station opened as a terminus station at the western end of the Stockport & Woodley Junction Railway on January 12 1863
When it opened, Stockport Portwood had a single platform located on the south side of the line. At street level, there was a booking office in
a small building, Waiting facilities were located on the platform
A large station opened at Stockport Tiviot Dale in 1865 which was only half a mile away from Portwood, and it was the reason that Portwood closed on September 1 1875
This was not the end of Portwood as a railway location as it developed into a large goods depot, complete with goods shed and a large warehouse.
The goods depot remained open until April 25 1966
