With the opening of the horse drawn Woodside and Birkenhead Dock Street Tramway in 1873, the station probably became the world's first tram to train interchange station
The station was closed to passengers in 1888 being superseded by Birkenhead Docks railway station which was later named Birkenhead North
The former passenger station was renamed Birkenhead Dock Goods, with the platforms still in existence in 1937, with the goods station closing the following year
The site was used as railway sidings until the 1990s
The street tramway crossed the railway at this location. Birkenhead Dock station was to the right.
