Opened in 1848 as "Presgwyn" by the Shrewsbury & Chester Railway, this station closed again in 1855. It was then reopened as "Preesgweene" by the Great Western Railway, the successors to the S&CR. The name was changed to "Weston Rhyn" in 1935. The station was closed to passengers in 1960 and completely in 1963. View north towards Trehowell and Chester, from an approaching train. In 2020 the station building was still there but the signal-box and sidings had gone.
