Holcombe Brook railway station was the terminus of the Bury to Holcombe Brook Line in England and served the village of Holcombe Brook in the Metropolitan Borough of Bury.

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The station closed when passenger services were withdrawn from the line on 5 May 1952; goods trains continued to serve Holcombe Brook until 2 May 1960.[2][3] The station was demolished and the site is now occupied by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.
