Huyton Quarry railway station

Huyton Quarry railway station opened in 1830 as part of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway,^[1] but Holt suggests it was originally known as the "station at the bottom of Whiston Incline" being renamed Huyton Quarry sometime after 1838.^[2] Either way it was one of the earliest passenger railway stations in the world. The station was closed by BR on 15 September 1958.^[1]
