Kenyon Junction railway station

[3] The early station was criticised for poor facilities and missed connections and was reconstructed in 1883.

[8] The London and North Western Railway's Tyldesley Loopline from Eccles to the junction west of Tyldesley station continued south west to Leigh, Pennington and Kenyon Junction opened in 1864.

Large sidings accommodated goods and coal traffic from Bag Lane, Westleigh, Bickershaw and Abram Collieries and Jacksons and Speakmans Sidings in Bedford, Greater Manchester, Leigh.

[12] The stationmaster's house remains in occupation, complete with its own railway bridge to cross the Manchester to Liverpool line, but is not visible from the road.
