Agecroft Bridge railway station was on the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Railway. It served the Agecroft estates and the Manchester Racecourse, which was reached via Langley Road.
History
The Manchester, Bolton and Bury Railway opened to the public on 29 May 1838, and Agecroft Bridge was one of two intermediate stations between Salford and Bolton, the other being Ringley. Later that year, regular passenger services ceased, but the station remained open for meetings at Manchester Racecourse; it was renamed Agecroft at this time. Regular services resumed in October 1857, as did the original name. The station closed permanently in January 1861.[1][2]
