Halton Railway Station

The old Halton Railway Station, Halton, Lancashire.
The station was opened in 1849 for the "Little" North Western Railway. It was linked to Halton village by a railway-owned narrow toll bridge across the River Lune. The original timber station was destroyed by fire in 1907, but was rebuilt with brick and timber. The station and line from Wennington to Morecambe were closed in 1966 and the line has now made a pleasant footpath and cycleway along the banks of the River Lune.
