Burton Point became Burton Point for Burton & Puddington
(1899 - 1955)
Burton Point station opened on August 1 1899. It was located in a fairly isolated position just under a mile west of Burton village, overlooking the Dee Estuary
The main facilities were in a building east of the line, with two-storeys at platform level and a single storey adjacent to the station approach road. The building was of yellow brick with red brick decoration, as seen at many of the line stations
Steps within the building led down to platform level, and it accommodated the booking office and storage facilities. The line was double-track so the station was provided with two platforms
A small goods yard was provided on the up side of the line to the north of the station. This comprised two sidings, a cattle dock with a pen and the other acted as a dock
In April 1910 there were eight trains to Wrexham Central from Burton Point - although one was by request only - four to Chester Northgate and thirteen to Seacombe on weekdays. There was an extra service to Seacombe on Saturdays and a service to Penyffordd on Wednesdays only
By June 1950 British Railways was operating seven trains to Wrexham Central between Monday and Friday and nine on Saturdays. Only three trains ran to Wrexham on Sundays
Being isolated, and at some distance from the village, Burton Point suffered from the effects of road competition. British Railways closed the station completely on December 5 1955 and the platform level waiting rooms and the footbridge were demolished after closure, but the main building was left in situ and used as the office for a garden centre
