Holywell Town railway station was a station in Holywell, Flintshire, Wales. The station was opened on 1 July 1912 and closed on 6 September 1954.[1][2] There was a single platform with two wooden shelters, a run round loop and extensive goods facilities. The station could be accessed by a sloping path down from a road bridge.[1] There are no remains of the station today, just the track-bed and elevated goods yard site on the northwest side of the road over bridge.
