Altcar and Hillhouse

The site of Altcar and Hillhouse station, looking south east from the road overbridge in August 2020. Primarily serving the CLC route to Southport Lord Street the station was also a junction for the L&YR route to Southport Chapel Street via Downholland. However, both lines served sparsely populated areas and the Downholld branch closed in 1938 while Altcar and the CLC line only lasted until 1952. The Cheshire Lines cycle path now passes through the station site.
