If you look carefully around the map (which appears to be a Midland Railway 'distance diagram'?)and know your local railways then you will see it names several goods only sites and even junctions. It should not be taken as evidence of a passenger station.

Sorry Mike, passengers were able to travel from Woodside Station to Chester via Rock Ferry in the 60s. The number of times my mum took me past there, whilst getting the bus to my aunty's in Little Sutton! Happy days.
