The Belfast and County Down Railway (B&CDR) opened the line between Queen’s Quay, Belfast and Holywood (northern ireland) on 2 August 1848. Holywood was a terminus until May 1865, when the Belfast, Holywood and Bangor Railway (BH&BR) opened from Holywood to Bangor. In 1859 the B&CDR sold its Holywood branch to the BH&BR, with the result that Holywood station came under BH&BR management.
