Details
The station was situated on the edge of Fenn's Moss, now part of the Fenn's, Whixall and Bettisfield Mosses National Nature Reserve. The formation runs from south-west to north-east, and a bridge carried a minor road across the tracks immediately to the west of the station. There was a single platform to the north of the tracks, with a single storey building on the platform. In 1893, there was a passing loop, which was only used by goods trains, and a siding to serve a goods yard. The passing loop continued through the bridge to the south-west, to serve a brickyard and kiln. By 1899, a second siding had been laid into the goods yard, and the northern end of the passing loop had been continued along an embankment as a siding. It ran alongside the main line almost to the point at which is crossed the Shropshire Union Canal. At the southern end, a new clay pit had been opened on the north side of the main line, which was connected to Fenn's Brick and Tile Works by a short section of track that passed under the main line. The buildings had been extended, and there was a balloon loop around a circular structure. An extra siding turned off the line to the Brick Works, and entered a transshipment shed, which also accommodated a gauge line bringing peat from Fenn's and Whixall Mosses. The tramway was operated by the Peat Moss Litter Company. The layout in 1912 was similar, except that the balloon loop had been split into two sidings, one on either side of the circular structure.
