Strines railway station serves the village of Strines, in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, on the outskirts of Greater Manchester, England,[1] although the station lies over the border in Derbyshire.
It was built by the Sheffield and Midland Railway Companies' Committee on its extension to New Mills from Manchester, opening in 1865. It had a substantial stone-built booking office and waiting room, with a stationmaster's house. These were considered sufficiently impressive to be used as location shoots for films in the early 1970s. They disappeared when the station became an unstaffed halt in 1973.
