Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cefn-y-Bedd_railway_station

"Cefn-y-bedd railway station serves the village of Cefn-y-bedd in Flintshire, Wales. The station is 4 miles (6 km) north of Wrexham Central on the Borderlands Line. It was opened in 1866 by the Wrexham, Mold and Connah's Quay Railway, which later became part of the Great Central Railway system. 

The station used to have a 14-lever signal box to the north of the Bidston-bound platform, and a goods yard adjacent to the western side of the station.[2][3] The signal box was in use until 1945 and the goods yard closed on 14 May 1964.[3][2] The station became unstaffed in 1969, but the main building on the northbound side has survived and is now privately owned.[4] The brick shelter on the southbound side is one of only two still standing of that particular design (the other being at nearby Caergwrle)."
