Welcome to my user page. My main purpose is to promote education and understanding concerning certain aspects of Merseyside history, especially railway history, which has long been ignored or sidetracked for whatever reason. My areas of promotion are the North Liverpool Extension line of the Cheshire Lines Committee railway (Hunts Cross / Halewood to Aintree Central) together with it's sister line which followed on from same, namely, the Southport & Cheshire Lines Extention Railway (Aintree Central to Southport Lord Street)

I have a wealth of photographs, plans, tickets and other items I will be sharing with readers over the coming years by posting them to the relevant location sites.....namely

HUNTS CROSS, HUNTS CROSS EAST JUNCTION, HALEWOOD NORTH JUNCTION, HALEWOOD, HALEWOOD EAST JUNCTION, GATEACRE, CHILDWALL, KNOTTY ASH, KNOTTY ASH SIDINGS, WEST DERBY, WEST DERBY SIDINGS, CLUBMOOR, FAZAKERLEY SOUTH JUNCTION, FAZAKERLEY WEST JUNCTION, WALTON ON THE HILL SIDINGS, WALTON ON THE HILL ENGINE SHED, WALTON ON THE HILL, HUSKISSON, HUSKISSON GOODS, FAZAKERLEY NORTH JUNCTION, FAZAKERLEY JUNCTION, WARBRECK, AINTREE CENTRAL, AINTREE CENTRAL SIDINGS, SOUTHPORT JUNCTION, AINTREE JUNCTION, SEFTON & MAGHULL, LYDIATE, ALTCAR & HILLHOUSE, HILLHOUSE JUNCTION, MOSSBRIDGE, WOODVALE, AINSDALE BEACH, BIRKDALE PALACE, SOUTHPORT LORD STREET, SOUTHPORT LORD STREET ENGINE SHED, SOUTHPORT LORD STREET GOODS

All the bold lettered names are (or were) railway stations and sites should already be in existance for them. If not they will be created or expanded together with the plain junction names or goods and engine shed sites in due course. In time, it is hoped that everything one could possibly wish to know about this line will be there for the enquirer. Photographs will naturally be low-resolution but details of how to obtain moderately-priced larger prints (from the relevant copyright holders) will also be posted where possible.

Please join me in this quest if you have anything to add - all I ask is that it is accurate, relevant, of reasonable publishing quality and does not infringe anyone's copyright in any way. Please be concise, factual and try to avoid personal comments (unless you are old enough to speak of a memory of the site, whether from a working knowledge or passenger status etc.)
