Peak Forest railway station

Peak Forest railway station

Peak Forest railway station was opened in 1867 by the Midland Railway on its extension of the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midlands Junction Railway from Rowsley, part of the main Midland Line from Manchester to London. It was also the northern junction for the line from Buxton.

It marked the summit of the line before it dropped through Dove Holes Tunnel to Chapel-en-le-Frith

Although it was named Peak Forest it was actually adjacent to the present day settlement of Peak Dale
