Waterhouses (Staffordshire) railway station
Waterhouses railway station was a railway station that served the village of Waterhouses, Staffordshire. It was opened jointly by the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR) and the Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway (L&MVLR) in 1905〔Butt p. 242.〕 and closed in 1943.〔Christiansen & Miller p. 304.〕
==Construction and opening==
The station was the terminus of two separate railway lines; the NSR branch from Leekbrook Junction and the narrow gauge L&MVLR from . Both lines were authorised on 1 March 1899 by the ''Leek, Caldon Low, and Hartington Light Railways Order, 1898''.
From Leekbrook junction, Waterhouses station was distant. The branch rose until it reached a summit of near making that the highest point on the NSR.〔Christiansen p. 54.〕 From there the line fell to until Waterhouses was reached at an elevation of . The descent necessitated a steep gradient of 1 in 40 (2.5%) that ended only at the end of the station platform.〔Manifold p. 54.〕 The station itself was on a falling gradient of 1 in 260 (0.38%).〔
The other end of the L&MVLR at Hulme End was away but construction of the L&MVLR proceeded faster than that of the NSR line and Waterhouses was reached in 1904 but until the joint station was ready the L&MVLR used a temporary station located slightly to the east between its opening on 27 June 1904 and 1 July 1905 when the NSR line opened.〔Manifold p. 20.〕
