History

The station was built by the Nantwich and Market Drayton Railway (N&MDR) and opened on 20 October 1863,[1] although the line was operated by the Great Western Railway from its opening and the Nantwich and Market Drayton Railway was eventually amalgamated into the Great Western Railway in 1897.[2] The line passed on to the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, and was then closed to passengers by the British Railways Board on 9 September 1963.[1]
