Gresford
(1846 - 1962)
Gresford Station was originally opened by the S&CR on November 4 1846
The main facilities were on the up platform (Wrexham direction). The station building was two storeys, stone-built in a cottage style and a simple waiting shelter was provided on the down platform
There were no goods facilities at Gresford
The March 1850 timetable showed four up and five down trains on Monday to Saturday. On Sunday there were two trains in each direction
The December 1895 timetable showed eight up and seven down services on Monday to Saturday with two up and three down trains on Sundays
By July 1922, there were ten up and nine down trains on Monday to Saturday but no trains on Sunday
On May 2 1955, reflecting its declining use, the station became unstaffed and was renamed ‘Gresford Halt (for Llay)’ in the timetable with only five up and seven down trains Monday to Friday. With such a poor level of service in 1962, BR sought permission to withdraw passenger services from Gresford and it closed completely on September 10 1962
The station building survived in its original form until the 1980s after which it was rebuilt but the orignal station building could not be recognised and new properties were built on the station forecourt
