Hadlow Road Railway Station

Hadlow Road Railway Station is a railway station and station house, now functioning as a museum. It was built in 1866 and has undergone some alterations in the 20th century. The station was part of the Helsby-Parkgate line of the former Birkenhead, Lancashire and Cheshire Junction Railway. The building is constructed of brown brick in Flemish bond, featuring a stone plinth and ashlar dressings, with cast-iron guttering and a slate roof adorned with crocketed cresting. Brick stacks are set on stone plinths with stone cornices and caps.

The exterior consists of a single-storey, four-bay station range, with a two-storey gable-ended station house on the right. The station features pairs of two-panel doors at the front and rear, set within doorcases that have chamfered pilasters and shouldered arches under round arches. The tympani of these arches display roundel, foliage, and fruit motifs, with the date visible only on the north side. Ogee moulded hoodmoulds sit above the arches. The paired windows have round heads, chamfered mullions, and semicircular arches. A yellow brick dentil course runs along the eaves, and the gable coping is cavetto moulded.

The station house includes segment-headed recessed sashes in pairs, with stone mullions and moulded imposts. There is a four-panel door under a stone lintel with a pointed upper surface, and cavetto moulded string courses on the first floor. A wall-mounted gas lamp is fixed to the left corner, alongside old enamel advertisements on the station and house walls. The windows throughout the building are either sashes or two-pane casements with steeply sloped sills.

Inside, the station waiting room is separated from the ticket office by a half-glazed wooden screen. The ticket office features a fireplace with a cast-iron grate, while the waiting room also contains a fireplace. The museum is linked to the Wirral Way Footpath, which has replaced the railway line.
