& Aigburth
(1864 - 1972 - 1978 - )
At the time of the station's opening in 1864, the Aigburth area
had begun to attract the more prosperous Liverpool merchants
with spacious houses and grounds, who could afford the carriages
to take them to work in the city
To accommodate the growing number of gardeners,
coachmen and other servants "The Village" of terraced cottages
was built. Its pub, the Aigburth Arms, was famous as the meeting
place of Liverpool comedians, including Tommy Handley
The station was closed in 1972 and it reopened in 1978 and used
by trains on the Southport-Hunts Cross route on the Merseyrail
network
