Wardleworth railway station served the township of WardleworthinRochdale, in the Metropolitan Borough of RochdaleinGreater Manchester, England, from 1870 until closure in 1947.[1][2] It was on the Facit Branch between Rochdale and Facit, which was extended to Bacup in 1881. The station was quite well placed for Rochdale town centre and so, in addition to the branch trains, a few other services from Manchester terminated here. Between here and Rochdale station was the Roch Valley Viaduct, now demolished.
