Legend

It was opened on 6 March 1893 by Robert Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury. The station had a hydraulic lift bridge which enabled a section of track to be lifted up to allow large vehicles to pass underneath.^[1] It was heavily bombed during the Liverpool Blitz.^[2]

The station closed, along with the rest of the line on 30 December 1956. No evidence of the station remains.
