Sandon Dock
(1893 - 1896)
Sandon Dock was one of the original stations of the Liverpool Overhead Railway (LOR) opening with the line on March 6 1893
Sandon Dock station was located at the north-east corner of the dock after which it was named. The station was accessed via steps located at its southern end. It was provided with waiting shelters on each
platform
To the south of the station, the line dropped down to street level via a steep incline so that it could pass under the North Docks Branch Railway of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway and it then
climbed back up again to resume its course as an elevated railway
Some time before May 1896, Sandon Dock station was closed and replaced by Huskisson Dock located a short distance to its north and by Nelson Dock to its south. It was still standing in 1927 but had been
demolished by the end of the 1930s
