Clifton (Mayfield) railway station was opened on 3 May 1852 by the North Staffordshire Railway[2] at Clifton on the southern fringes of Ashbourne, Derbyshire. Originally named Clifton, it was renamed Clifton (Mayfield) on 22 August 1893, and was known as Clifton for Mayfield in some timetables.[2]
It was on a branch from Rocester to Ashbourne and in 1899 it was met by the Ashbourne Line built by the London and North Western Railway from Buxton.[3]
Regular passenger services ceased on 1 November 1954[2] and freight ended in 1964
