Overview

Eight miles north of Wrexham, on the Borderlands line Buckley station serves the rural town of Buckley. Opened in March 1890 as Buckley Junction, it was renamed in 1974 and is the only remaining station of three that served Buckley.

The Flintshire town is the second largest in the county, and has its roots in the coal and pottery industries, becoming increasingly important during the Industrial Revolution, and by the start of the 1800s, the town was home to 14 potteries. With coal seams lying close to the surface just under a layer of clay, the two industries worked well together, and the town expanded as workers moved in, many from Ireland and Liverpool.

Known for their distinctive accent originating from the influx of Liverpudlian and Irish workers, the people of Buckley often use unique colloquialisms that few ‘outsiders’ understand.
