Foryd Pier
(1865 - ????)
Foryd Pier station was located at the northern end of a 1.4 mile branch line that connected the Vale of Clywd Railway to the northwest shore of the Clwyd Estuary at Foryd
It appears that the branch, which officially received Royal Assent in June 1862 had been constructed as a temporary track before that date. Evidence suggests that a station opened on this unofficial branch in August 1859. It is not known whether it was used by passengers
The branch was constructed at first for goods services but a passenger station was provided at Foryd Pier in October 1865. The plan was that the station would connect with steam ships that ran from Foryd Pier to Liverpool
A single platform was provided with basic facilities and goods facilities, including a goods shed were also located at Foryd Pier which were used until line closure in April 1959
There is very little to show that a railway ever existed at Foryd Pier and the site is now used as a boat yard
