History

The station was opened as Kidsgrove in 1875, but was renamed in 1944 when the nearby Harecastle station became Kidsgrove Central. ^[2]

In the Beeching Report of 1963, the station was recommended for closure. It was subsequently closed to passengers in 1964, but the Potteries Loop Line remained in use until the electrification of the West Coast Main Line, on which Kidsgrove Central station (now Kidsgrove) is a stop. The signal box was closed in 1975.

The site today

The site is now occupied by a Tesco supermarket. ^[3]
