Location

Attercliffe railway station was built to serve the Parish ofAttercliffe cum Darnall, then separated from but now part of the City ofSheffield,South Yorkshire,England.

The station was situated on theManchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway company's line between Woodburn Junction andTinsley Junction which was served by trains betweenSheffield Victoria,Barnsley andRotherham Central. Access to the station was by a footpath from Worksop Road. At the station's opening this was the main road between Attercliffe (it left the main Sheffield-Rotherham road opposite the parish church), and Darnall. The station consisted of twoplatforms flanking the lines and these were linked by asubway.

The original station was opened in August 1871, closed on 31 December 1900 and replaced by a new structure which opened the following day. The station was closed on 26 September 1927 but is remembered by the "Station Hotel" on Attercliffe Road, a short distance away which had, and may still have, a fine pictorial sign depicting a station porter at work on the station.
