Great Longstone for Ashford railway station
Great Longstone for Ashford railway station was a station which served Great and Little Longstone in the Peak District of Derbyshire. It was opened in 1863 by the Midland Railway on its extension of the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midlands Junction Railway from Rowsley.
Originally known as Longstone railway station, in 1913 it was renamed Great Longstone for Ashford (Ashford-in-the-Water). Once the London, Midland and Scottish Railway reached Manchester the line carried expresses to London St Pancras and heavy mineral traffic.
It closed in 1962, except that, for a short time, one train a day in each direction continued to stop to allow a local resident, Mrs A Boardman, to travel to work, an episode immortalised by the British Moveietone film ''It only stops for her.'' 〔(British Movietone News (1962) ''It only Stops For Her'' )〕
The building, designed to match the nearby Thornbridge Hall, survives as a domestic residence, and the trackbed through the station is part of the Monsal Trail, a walk and cycleway. Access to the Monsal Trail can be made at Great Longstone for Ashford railway station, via steps from in front of Thornbridge Hall and Thornbridge Outdoors (on a small paved track just off Longstone Lane).
