Location

Clock Face railway station served the colliery village of Clock Face south of St Helens, England. The station was on the southern section[2][3] of the St Helens and Runcorn Gap Railway which was later absorbed by the London and North Western Railway.[4]

Sources differ on when the station first appeared on public timetables. The Disused Stations website gives 1856[5] whereas Pixton gives 1854.[6] The station was reduced to 'Halt' status in 1926[6] and closed completely on 18 June 1951, when passenger trains were withdrawn between Widnes and St Helens.[4]
