Reminiscent of an elegant Italianate villa rather than a railway

station Holywell stands proud on the former down platform. Opened in 1848 and designed by the renowned architect Francis Thompson the station was once a busy place and named Holywell Junction with a short branch to Holywell Town heading south from here. It closed in 1966 falling into a state of disrepair and dereliction finally being restored and returning to use a private residence in the early 2000s. There are active moves to reopen the station supported by the Welsh Government with it more likely to be named Greenfield rather than retaining its Holywell identity.
