Hindlow railway station was opened for goods in 1833 near to Hindlow near King Sterndale to the south east of Buxton, Derbyshire on the Cromford and High Peak Railway (which ran from Whaley Bridge to Cromford) and the LNWR line to Ashbourne and the south.

The Cromford and High Peak Railway goods station opened in 1833.

A new station was opened in 1894 by the LNWR when it built its branch to Ashbourne from a junction at Parsley Hay At this time the C&HPR line to Whaley Bridge was closed.

Just before the station there was a junction to a stub of the old line which continued to serve the Hillhead branch.

At Hindlow was a sidings for Ryan, Somerville and Company, and another for W.Spencer and Company (later Buxton Lime Firms Ltd.) These were two of the many lime works served by this stretch of line, which covered everything with a patina of white powder which on many photographs from this era is mistaken for snow.
