[1][2] The station was located to the south-east of St. John Street, where it crossed the railway.
There were two running lines with platforms on the outer sides connected by a footbridge.
The main building was to the south of the line and was accessed by a ramp running down from the road over-bridge.
[7] By 1922 the number of services had increased to about thirty-nine each way (there was some variation on Saturdays) of which eighteen continued to Delph (none on Sundays).
[12] Not far from the station, to the north east, was Lees Engine Shed which was open from 1878 to April 1964.
