Broughton-in-Furness railway station served the market town of Broughton-in-Furness, in Lancashire, England (now in Cumbria). It was on the branch line to Coniston.
History
In 1848 the Furness Railway extended its line from Barrow to Kirkby-in-Furness to nearby Broughton-in-Furness with the intention of serving local copper mines. Authorised by Parliament in August 1857 the extension to Coniston was open less than two years later, in June 1859. British Railways closed the station and the branch to passengers in 1958 and goods in 1962.
The station building remains.
