Hassop railway station was situated about two miles from the village of Hassop in the Peak District of Derbyshire, England. It was opened in 1862[1] by the Midland Railway on its extension of the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midlands Junction Railway from Template:Rws.[2]
It was built for the benefit of the Duke of Devonshire of Chatsworth House who, having previously declined to allow the railway to pass over the easier terrain of his lands, belatedly saw its possible benefit.[3] Indeed, for a while it was renamed Hassop for Chatsworth.[4] However, in this sparsely populated area, it saw little patronage and closed in 1942. Its greatest use was as a goods yard, which closed in 1964.
History
Opened by the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midlands Junction Railway, then becoming part of the Midland Railway, the station became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) during the grouping of 1923. It was host to a LMS camping coach from 1934 to 1939.[5] The station then closed to passengers in 1942.[1]
