Well here we go a potted history of the last thirty years..

This is a personal recolection of the changes I have seen here over the last 30 years with a bit of the history of Burton Point Station.

My parents originally aquired the site that would eventually become Station House Nurseries in 1965. The site was a disused raiway station in Burton on the Wirral. In 1966 they moved into the house after extensive repairs made it habitable, corrogated iron was replaced by glass and a fresh coat of paint applied. In those days the house was plain old Station House and what is now the Nursery was little more than an overgrown railway siding. In the early days we still had 2 bridges over the railway line (one was demolished around 1973) and the primary use of the railway was still freight. In those days the main freight was Iron ore and limestone to the blast furnaces at shotton.

These days the railway is a lot quieter due in part to the Shotton steel works no longer smelting iron and much quieter trains in
general. No more do 30 waggon trains rumble past at 2 in the morning and shake the house for all its worth, I supose it is what living on the san andreas fault would be like..
