The Stoke to Market Drayton Line was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) in 1870.
[2] A station called simply Madeley was opened on the line in the same year.
Within a few months; possibly to avoid confusion with the LNWR station that was, at least, on the edge of Madeley; the station was renamed Madeley Manor after the nearby, abandoned house of that name.
[1] The station had no goods facilities and due to its rural location passenger use was low and in 1931 the London, Midland and Scottish Railway closed the station.
[3] The line through the station remained in use until the closure of Silverdale Colliery in 1998.
