Ashton Hall railway station
Ashton Hall railway station was a private halt in Lancashire, England. Located on the Glasson Dock branch line, it was opened to serve Ashton Hall, the home of Lord Ashton, a local businessman. The house is now Lancaster Golf Club.
History
Opened by the London and North Western Railway, the station passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923, and was closed seven years later.
