Mold
(1849 - 1962)
Mold station was opened on August 14 1849 as the terminus station of the Mold Railway Company's double-track line from Chester to Mold and
in September 1869 the line, from Chester was extended to Denbigh
The station had two platforms. The main station building was located on the west side of the line on what after September 1869 had become the Denbigh direction platform. The building was a two-storey brick-build structure that housed the booking office, staff accommodation and waiting facilities. Canopies were located at the main entrance and on the platform side of the building. Just to the north of the main building, a covered footbridge gave access to the Chester direction platform. North of the footbridge on the Denbigh platform there was a single-storey brick-built toilet block
On the Chester direction platform a single-storey brick-built building provided waiting facilities and store rooms. At the rear of the south end of the Chester platform there was a substantial brick-built goods shed.
By 1904, there were seven trains to Chester from Mold Station on weekdays and six on Saturdays. In 1923, Mold had eleven trains to Chester. By May 1934, the service had increased to thirteen trains in each direction to Chester. In the Summer of 1960, there were nine trains in each direction on this service
Passenger receipts were so low that the withdrawal of passenger services was proposed and on April 28 1962 the last passenger services operated and Mold station closed. The station remained open for goods services until May 4 1964. After March 1983, the last remnant of the line was closed and it was lifted during the summer of 1985
The station site survived until the 1990s after which it was developed as a supermarket
