Hooton
(1840 - )
Until 1863, Hooton was just a simple station consisting of two platforms on the Birkenhead to Chester line
It became more important and its facilities were first improved when a branch was opened on the July 1 1863 between Hooton and Helsby running via Ellesmere Port. The branch diverged from the main line and headed east a short distance to the south of Hooton Station. The line was built to allow trains to travel between Birkenhead and Warrington without having to travel via Chester
On the October 1 1866 another branch, this time heading west from a point just to the South of Hooton station was opened to Parkgate
