Spellow
(1882 - 1948)
By the 1880s, Walton had developed from a small village into a residential suburb of Liverpool and to serve the rapidly expanding area the LNWR opened Spellow station in September 1882
The station possessed a street level over-track building on the east side of County Road. The building was a single-storey brick structure with a half-hipped roof. On reaching the platforms via a covered footbridge passengers were sheltered by hipped, glazed awnings supported by the sheer sandstone walls of the cutting through which the railway passed, and by a series of metal pillars
Tramway competition did lead to a reduction in the passenger services from Spellow and the July 1922 timetable showed eighteen up and nineteen9 down trains on weekdays
After closure in 1948, the street level station building was used by a series of retail outlets including a furniture store and, in more recent years, a betting office. The station infrastructure at track level fell into a state of disrepair and the footbridge and awnings had been removed by the early 1960s
