Butts Lane Halt railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Butts Lane Halt was a railway station in the Blowick suburb of Southport, Merseyside. The station opened in March 1907 as a halt on the Liverpool, Southport and Preston Junction Railway, and consisted of simple cinder based platforms at track level, situated on an embankment to the south of Butts Lane bridge. The station closed on September 26, 1938, though the line remains open and is today used by trains on the Northern Rail Manchester to Southport Line.
