north wales coast railway approx closure mid 60's

Answer 1

I see your problem - I've searched and searched for you and nothing comes up. I found one site which gives the dates 1912 - 1955 (a ramblers' site: http://www.welshwalks.info/walksASP/walkDesc.asp?routeID=312 ).

This site might also be of interest:

Google comes up with lots of results connected to the railway line, but not specifically to the station. I did various searches (holywell railway, "holywell railway station", holywell history, holywell archives, etc).

I think your best route is going to be the archive at the local library (if you live near to Holywell, that is). Otherwise, I'd give them a call and see what they suggest. It could be that there's a local history book they can recommend.

Good luck with it!
