Today
- Ainsworth Road still crosses the old station site; the west side is open space and the east side is now a new road.
- The station site is shown as “Halt” on old maps.
- A few hundred yards north on Ainsworth Road (B6292) is the site of Radcliffe Black Lane station, which had more services.
- Remains of the bridge that carried the road over the railway can still be seen. On the west side, you can see parts of the bridge and a parapet beam; a brick infill marks the entrance to one platform, which was reached by a narrow path down into the cutting. On the east side, the bridge above road level has been removed.
