History

Mossley Halt was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway in 1919.^[3] It was used by workers travelling to and from Black Bull coal mine.^[1]

In 1923, the Chatterley-Whitfeild collieries ran services to transport their own workers between Mossley Halt, Chell Halt and Biddulph Halt. These services ran twice a day one in the early morning and one a night.^[4] These services did not last long.^[4]

The London, Midland and Scottish Railway ran two services a day between Mossley Halt and Chell Halt; these trains ran at midday to take the noon shift workers to the collieries and to bring the day shift workers back.^[4]

By the time of Grouping in 1923, there was one service on Saturdays that called at Mossley Halt.^[2]

Mossley Halt was closed on 13 July 1925.^[3]
