Gladstone Dock
(1930 - 1956)
In the 2nd decade of the 20th century work began on the Gladstone Dock complex and the 1st part of it, a graving dock, opened in 1913. The Gladstone system could handle the largest ships and the LOR opened
a station adjacent to Gladstone No. 1 dock on June 16 1930. This was the last station to be opened by LOR
The station was located within the dock estate and passengers wishing to alight at the station were required to have a dockside permit. These were issued to dock workers, ships crews and ship passengers
The station was accessed by stairways that were located at each end of the station on its west side. The stairways connected to the Down platform (Seaforth direction). On the Down platform there were covered ticket kiosks at the top of both stairways. At the mid-point of the platform there was a covered waiting shelter
Gladstone Dock station was demolished with the rest of the LOR towards the end of 1957 and in the 1990s a rail loading facility for coal and later bio-mass was built at the site of Gladstone Dock station
