    Nice photos Kebabman. I've not seen those freezes on the walls before.

    There's loads of broken off girders in the walls, I've always wondered what it used to look like. Did the line on the the bridge by there, have a station here too ?[/QUOTE]

    Hi Smurf - no it didn't, as far as I know the next station on the Old BJ/GWR line was at Rock Ferry
    Violently happy

    Thanks for that. So the old line went along above the right hand wall on the photo I posted ?

    I'm very fond of the style of Green Lane station. Scouseinmanc is quite right; there was never a main line station here. The line did indeed run above the right-hand wall in the picture, and at the bridge over Green Lane it was 8 tracks wide. The nearest station was Birkenhead Town, about 600 yards to the North, roughly where the Rock Retail Park is. The line then entered the tunnel to Birkenhead Woodside. Town station closed to passengers in 1945.

    Oh, and sadly, the fine footbridge at Hooton has been demolished: vandals.
