Winwick Quay
(1831 - 1840)
Winwick Quay Station opened sometime after July 1831 but before July 4 1837. It was located to the east of the Sankey Canal (opened 1757) at a point where there was a canal company
repair yard and a mooring area called Winwick Quay
The GJR opened on July 4 1837 and from that date Winwick Quay was located on a main line. In all likelihood it was served only by local trains. Being in a remote location Winwick Quay
proved to be unremunerative and it was closed in November 1840
The line through Winwick Quay went on to become part of the West Coast Main Line
