SJ3464 : The Redundant Broughton and Bretton Railway Station
taken 17 years ago, near to Bretton, Flintshire/Sir y Fflint, Wales
The Redundant Broughton and Bretton Railway Station
This station was on the Mold Junction railway line from Chester to Mold, and when it was opened in 1849 it was called Broughton. The name was changed to Broughton Hall in 1861, and then changed again in 1908 to Broughton and Bretton. The line crossed the A5104 Chester Road at this point with a level crossing. The station house is on the right and is shown on the 1882 O.S. map as Broughton Hall Station. The small building on the left was the waiting room for Chester bound passengers. The area between the buildings is now the car park for the veterinary centre.
