History
Originally named Barnston, it opened on 18 May 1896 on the North Wales and Liverpool Railway.[1] The station was renamed as Storeton for Barnston on 1 May 1900, and simply as Storeton in 1933.[1] The station closed to passengers on 3 December 1951[2] and finally closed on 3 February 1964.[1] The station had a 23-lever signal box, south of the road bridge, which operated the lines to the adjacent goods yard and was used until 2 July 1965.[3][4]
