Clock Face
(1856 - 1951)
Clock Face station located south of the junction of Clock Face Road and Gartons Lane was on the St Helens and Runcorn Gap Railway which ran from St Helens in the north to the banks of the Mersey at Widnes in the south
From 1845 a number of gradients on the line that had precluded locomotive working were eased and at about this time Clock Face station was opened. The station was situated on both sides of a small road overbridge in a cutting in the small village of Clock Face. The Widnes platform was situated to the north of the bridge and had a small waiting shelter. The St Helens platform was south of the bridge and had the main station building
The service lasted until June 16 1951 when Clock Face station closed as a passenger station. On November 1 1981 the line closed as a through route. The section through the site of Clock Face station survived for a few more years as the connection between Sutton Manor Colliery and Sutton Oak Junction was retained. After the closure of the Colliery in the mid 1980's the line was cut back to Sutton Oak Junction
Nothing remains of the station and the cutting has been filled in
