Notes: Dunham Hill station was originally known as Dunham and it opened as part of the Birkenhead Joint railway's Chester to Warrington line. The station was renamed as Dunham Hill in April 1861. Being in quite a sparsely populated area the station was an early closure in 1952. Interestingly a number of other 'country' stations closed on this otherwise extremely busy line in the early 1950's.

Today no trace of the station remains but the line is still a busy route between North Wales and Manchester.
