Mow Cop and Scholar Green railway station was a station on the North Staffordshire Railway between Stoke-on-Trent and Congleton. It served the village of Mow Cop.
The line was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway on 9 October 1848 but the station at Mow Cop did not open until the beginning of January 1849.[2] It closed in 1964 and was immortalised that year in the song Slow Train by Flanders and Swann.[4]
The signal box survived in use until 2002, and is now preserved privately in the village.[5]
