Ann Street Halt railway station served an area of Widnes in Cheshire, England. It was located on the former St Helens and Runcorn Gap Railway.

History

Opened by the London and North Western Railway as a railmotor halt, it became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, only to be closed by the British Transport Commission three years later.

The site is buried under road developments.
