Southport Central
(1882 - 1901)
Southport Central which opened in September 1882 was the southern terminus of the West Lancashire Railway (WLR) Company’s Southport & Preston Railway which opened in stages
between February 19 1878 and September 6 1882
It had an imposing three-storey brick building. There was a large booking hall, a secretary’s office on the first floor and stationmaster’s accommodation on the second floor. Waiting facilities were also provided. The station had two platforms
In May 1901, trains were diverted onto the Manchester to Southport line and into Southport Chapel Street Station and Southport Central was closed to passenger services
The station stood derelict for over a decade after which it was converted into a goods depot known as Southport Windsor Road and opened to traffic on March 10 1913. Later the station was renamed Kensington Road Goods and it was closed in early 1982. Its site was later developed as a supermarket car park
