Wikidata WikipediaHadlow Road railway station is a Grade II listed heritage railway station and museum in Willaston, on the Wirral Way footpath. It has been restored to have the look and feel of the day the station was permanently closed to passengers in 1956. It has an authentic ticket office, waiting room and telephone box. Formerly the museum was a working railway station on the single track Hooton to West Kirby branch of the Birkenhead Railway, on the Wirral Peninsula, Cheshire. The station is owned by Cheshire West and Chester Council, and Friends of Hadlow Road Station (FHRS) help to maintain and develop the station as a community resource.

Hadlow Road Station Stop a moment and imagine..... It is 1952 The train will soon be in - You hear its whistle, faint on the wind. Behind you, business men and shoppers, on their way to the city move aside for a porter pulling a trolley load of mail and country produce. From inside comes the sound of jingling coins and the thud of the date stamp as the clerk issues tickets. A late comer pushes onto the platform and the train steams in. Today the station, restored and refurnished is much as it was on that day in 1952. Only travellers and staff are missing.
