West Derby station in Liverpool opened in 1879 on the Cheshire Lines Railway’s North Liverpool Extension. The brick station spanned Mill Lane with a two-arch bridge built for potential expansion. It featured waiting rooms, ramps to the platforms and a nearby goods yard, and by the 1890s handled frequent services to Liverpool Central, Southport and Manchester, with extra trains for Aintree race days. The station closed to passengers in November 1960 and shut entirely five years later. Freight services continued to run through the site until 1975, and the tracks were removed in early 1979. | Facebook
