Aigburth formerly Mersey Road & 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
