Opened in 1838 by the Manchester and Bolton Railway, later part of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway, this station was variously called "Ringley" and "Stoneclough" to 1848. It settled on "Stoneclough" from 1848 to 1894, then became "Kearsley & Stoneclough" to 1903, and has been called "Kearsley" since then. View north west towards Farnworth and Bolton, a few years before electrification. For an updated view, see Image
