History
The Bury and Tottington District Railway opened on 6 November 1882. The northern terminus of the line was at Holcombe Brook, 3 3⁄4 miles (6.0 km) from Bury.[1]
The station closed when passenger services were withdrawn from the line on 5 May 1952; goods trains continued to serve Holcombe Brook until 2 May 1960.[2][3] The station was demolished and the site is now occupied by a shopping development.

gollark: Vaguely relatedly, I'm not sure if it would be more sensible to go to university, or not go to university.
gollark: I did look at UK income distribution statistics and they were somewhat surprising, really. But still, we have a roughly functional ish economy.
