    Default Liverpool's Old Original Station Before Exchange Station

    please can someone help me i am currently working on my new website www.oldliverpoolrailways.tk which is about liverpools railways, stations ect and i am stuck on exchange station as i found out it was not the original station i know it opened in 1850 and used to be called Tithebarn Street railway station and changed to exchange station in 1888 but before 1850 before echange station(tithebarn street station) there was another station near to that site does anyone have any info on this or where about the original staion was? only info i could find was of wikipida and it said:

    ''Liverpool Exchange railway station was a railway station located in Liverpool, England. It opened originally as Tithebarn Street railway station on 13 May 1850, replacing an earlier station at Great Homer street nearby. The station was extensively rebuilt and renamed in 1888, expanding from its original site to cover Clarke's Basin (the original end of the Leeds-Liverpool Canal)''

    (but how can it be a great homer street thats miles away from the exchange station site?)

    Great Homer Street isn't that far from Exchange at all. Obviously they decided to bring the railway in closer to the city centre and build a proper terminus. To be honest the library in Liverpool is your best bet.

    There were no railways in Great Homer Street.

    "In 1848 the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway opened the line between Liverpool and Wigan, Bolton, Bury and Rochdale. There was a temporary passenger terminus at Great Howard Street but the line was extended and the Tithebarn Street Station opened in 1850."
    Source: Naomi Evetts, in the Alan Godfrey reprint of the OS map LIverpool (North), 1906, 106.10.

    Great Howard Street then became a Goods Station.

    Naomi Evetts was a librarian at the Record Office, so the present staff should know where she got her information.
    It's also possible to buy the Godfrey maps there.

    The original stations in Liverpool were at Crown Street and Lime Street.

    My understanding is that Crown Street was the first railway station in the world, opening on the Liverpool-Manchester Railway -- the world's first -- in 1830. It was superceded just a few years later by Lime Street, after the difficult cut to there was finished, in 1836. After that, Crown Street was used for goods only, and was completely closed in 1972.

    Shame it's not a major landmark now. I guess there's a plaque there. A sensitively done reconstruction would haul in rail nuts from around the globe.

    Great Homer Street in the Exchange Station article on Wikipedia looks like a typo, unfortunately repeated in a couple of articles there, for Great Howard Street.

    We lived in Ursula Street off Hawthorne Road befor moving up to Crosby.
    An early memory is of being pushed in my pram across a high footbridge over the railway near this station and being panic-stricken when engulfed in smoke from the trains beneath!

    Definitely Great Howard Street.
    The station in Great Howard Street was the same site as the Borough Gaol.
