[7] It was the southern terminus of the 2 miles 70 chains (4.6 km)[8][9][10][11] Dyserth branch, most of which is now a public footpath.

In 1930 the line and station closed for passengers in the face of road competition.

Although the station has long been demolished, a crane from the station has been installed at the end of the walk as a feature of historical interest, as have two pieces of track at Chapel Street.

The branch line to Dyserth was opened by the LNWR in 1869, initially for mineral traffic only.

[12] The line remained open to serve a quarry at Dyserth until complete closure in 1973.
