Norbury and Ellaston railway station was opened in 1852 by the North Staffordshire Railway at Norbury north of Ashbourne, Derbyshire.[2]
(There is a later Norbury station originally opened in Surrey by the LB&SCR in 1868)
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.
Regular passenger services finished in 1954, freight ended in 1956 but occasional special excursion trains used the station until 1958.
