Description
Part of the Liverpool and Holyhead Telegraph (nprn 300822).
Built in 1836 to replace the 1828 station at SH 9945 8091 (nprn 300825). Subsequently the station was thought to be on the course of the Chester and Holyhead Railway under construction and a replacement was built in 1848 at SH 9914 8098 (nrpn 300827); however the disused station existed until demolition in 1956 and the site is now built over.
