Upton-by-Chester is a former station situated on the Chester–Birkenhead line which was built by the Chester and Birkenhead Railway.

[3] The station was established to serve the growing village of Upton and the surrounding area.

During the Second World War, it also served Moston Military Hospital (now Dale Barracks, Chester).

[1] In 1983, work started at the site of a former coalyard 700 metres (2,300 ft) south of this station and next to where a new supermarket was under development.

Its former side platforms are overgrown but they can still seen from passing trains and Liverpool Road bridge (A5116).
