Canada Dock
(1893 - 1956)
Canada Dock station was opened on March 6 1893 next to the Canada Dock Goods station of the London & North Western Railway (LNWR) which had opened on October 15 1866
Passengers accessed the station by stairways located at each end of the station and there were two platforms and shelters were provided on both. Ticket facilities were located on the platforms
The LOR line was an immediate success when it opened and it was not long before the first extensions were planned. The first was a northern extension to Seaforth Sands which opened on April 30 1894 and on December 21 1896 a southern extension opened to the residential area of Dingle
Between December 1940 and January 1942, Liverpool was bombed by the German Luftwaffe and the LOR suffered badly and was hit many times and Canada Dock received a direct hit in December 1940. Because it was an essential transport network for the docks, the line and stations were patched up each time they were damaged and trains were reintroduced as quickly as possible
The LOR line closed completely on Sunday December 30 1956 and Canada Dock station was demolished towards the end of 1957
