Ditton Mill
(1851 - 1871)
Ditton Mill station opened as a temporary terminus on May 21 1851 when the line from Widnes to Ditton Mill had been completed, and the railway company was keen to earn revenue from it whilst construction towards Garston was still in progress and through services to and from Garston began on July 1 1852
The station was named after a nearby windmill. In the 1850s the area around the station was rural and sparsely populated
There are no known pictures of Ditton Mill station, but it is likely that it consisted of two platforms with a basic cottage-style booking office and waiting room
By 1854 Ditton Mill was being served by trains running between St Helens and Garston Dock and between Warrington and Garston Dock with 6 trains in each direction Monday to Saturday and 3 each way on Sundays
The railway company built a new station to the west of the junction called Ditton Junction which opened on May 1 1871 and Ditton Mill was closed and demolished, leaving no trace
