Denbigh
(1858 - 1962)
Denbigh station was opened as a temporary terminus on October 22 1858 by the Vale of Clwyd Railway as part of its Rhyl to Denbigh line
The station was provided with a handsome stone-built building which had its own spire. Shortly after Denbigh station opened the Denbigh, Ruthin and Corwen Railway began to build a line from Denbigh station to Corwen. This new line, which made Denbigh a through station opened in its entirety on the October 6 1864
Denbigh station only ever had 1 through platform although this was able to cope with the general traffic levels on the lines that served the station. The station was also provided with a bay platform at its northern end which catered for Rhyl services. Train services operated from Denbigh to Rhyl, Denbigh to Corwen and Denbigh to Chester. Some of the later services continued through to Ruthin and a few services ran from Rhyl to Corwen
Denbigh was provided with extensive goods facilities at its northern end
Shortly after nationalisation passenger services went into decline and the first casualty was the Corwen service which ended on January 31 1953 then the service along the Vale of Clwyd line to Rhyl was cut on September 19 1955
Goods traffic at this time was still buoyant with services still running to Corwen, Chester and Rhyl and the final service between Chester, Denbigh and Corwen ended on the April 28 1962 and Denbigh station closed
Very little remains but sections of platform edges can still be seen and the bridge abutments show that a railway was once present here
