Burton Point railway station was located on the northern side of Station Road, at Burton, Cheshire, England. The station opened on 1 August 1899[1] on the North Wales and Liverpool Railway.[2] The station closed to passengers, and completely, on 5 December 1955.[1][2] Although the platform waiting rooms and footbridge were demolished after closure, the yellow and redbrick main building[3][4] remains in use as part of a garden centre and the platforms are still in existence.[2] The line through the former station remains in use as part of the Borderlands Line.[2]
