History


The station was opened on 13 September 1852 by the London and North Western Railway. It closed to passengers as a wartime economy measure on 15 April 1917 but it never reopened. Bradshaw showed that the service was suspended instead of closed. It became Birstall Lower after passenger closure.[1] The station remained open for goods traffic until 1963.[2] or 1962 [3]
