Balderton was opened in 1901 as a local station on the GWR's main line to the north on the section between Chester General and Wrexham General. The station would have been served by local services between the two towns whilst London to Birkenhead expresses would have thundered through.

Balderton was located at a level crossing just to the east of the nearby village. It would have consisted of two platforms with fairly limited facilities. The station closed to passengers in 1952.

Today this former main line that saw Birkenhead to London Paddington expresses is a single track shadow of its former self.
