History

The line from Bury to Holcombe Brook had opened on 6 November 1882, and originally there were three intermediate stations. A service of steam railmotors was introduced on the line in July 1905, and four more intermediate stations were opened at the same time; these small stations, or halts, included one at Brandlesholme Road, 1 mile (1.6 km) from Bury, which opened on 3 July 1905. It closed with the end of passenger services on the line on 5 May 1952.^[1][2]
