Site of Balderton Station
View NE, towards Chester; ex-GWR Shrewsbury - Chester main line. This station had been closed on 3/3/52. It remained open for goods until 1/11/64, although this is not apparent from the photograph, which shows a typical GWR Up express (headed by a 'County' class 4-6-0) and GWR lower-quadrant signal.

Railway line at Balderton Crossing
Looking south, in the direction of Shrewsbury, from Balderton Crossing. The width of the track bed indicates that this was once a double track main line, as can be seen in Image; there was also a station on the other side of the lane. On the right of the photo there used to be a signal box. The stone bridge in the distance carries Balderton Drive that once was an approach road to Eaton Hall for the Duke of Westminster. The A55 has now severed that link.

A repeat of Ben Brooksbank's 1961 photo, Image but without the train and with more tree and bush growth. The workmen's shelter has improved greatly as well. Balderton crossing is now barrier controlled - Image
