Local historian and author Brian Bennett, looks back at the journey from Mold to Denbigh by rail pre-1962. Let s take a nostalgic train journey from Mold to Denbigh, a popular and picturesque journey of about 16 miles. It was part of the Chester to Denbigh branch line and closed to passenger traffic in April 1962 (pre-Beeching) when it operated under the LMS (London Midland Scottish) banner. The line from Chester to Mold was opened in 1849 but the railway did not proceed to Denbigh until 1869. 1. Mold Station c1960. Image courtesy of Brian Bennett Leaving Mold (image 1) in a north westerly direction the line passed the old Synthite works before the hamlet of Rhyd y Golau is reached (image 2), never a station or halt in evidence, but a line of old railway cottages seen on the left of the image, looking pretty much the same today as was the case when this photograph was taken in c1960.
