The county of Merseyside was once home to many more railway stations than you see today.
The borough of St Helens had 30 train stations for much of the 20th century. Local historian Allan Moore has been researching St Helens ’ lost stations for years.
He shared a series of images from the council’s local history and archives library with the ECHO. The historian said: “I was an apprentice fitter at the old Vulcan foundry making locomotives, and grew up in Sutton alongside the railways. I think it’s very sad so many were closed, mainly in the late 1950s."
