History


The station was opened on 1 October 1901 by the Great Western Railway. It was situated at the west end of School Street. On the west side of the line was a siding that served Rhosllanerchrugog Brick Works and the signal box. To the south were goods facilities which consisted of a brick-built goods shed, two sidings and a 1-ton crane. The station closed to passengers on 1 January 1931 but it was used during the 1945 Eisteddfod festival from 6 to 12 August. It also was used for football specials[1] until the 1950s. The signal box closed in 1952. The final use was a rail tour on 18 April 1959. Goods traffic ceased on 14 October 1963.[2]
