It is located on the Wirral Peninsula, to the north of Capenhurst and to the west of Ellesmere Port. The village includes parts of the hamlets of Badger's Rake and Two Mills, and has a population of 88,[1] increasing to 181 at the 2011 census.[2] HistoryFormerly a township in Neston civil parish, Wirral Hundred. The population was 56 in 1801, 94 in 1851, 82 in 1901 and 116 in 1951. [3]The village was served by Ledsham railway station on the former Chester and Birkenhead Railway. Originally, a local cottage was used as the station building, until the provision of more substantial facilities.[4] At its height, Ledsham station had four platforms and was situated at the southern end of the railway's quadrupled section. The station never achieved the commercial potential expected by its owners, primarily due to its remote rural location.[5] Ledsham station closed completely on 20 July 1959.[4] However, two tracks of the line are still extant as part of the Merseyrail network, with stations at Hooton and Capenhurst.
