Irlam
25" map extract of Irlam, from the end of the 19th Century, showing the present day station and the railway diverging slightly to run parallel to its original route but on a rising gradient towards the Ship Canal bridge. The 1st station here opened in 1873 but closed in 1893 when the present facility opened (using the existing station building), adjacent to it but on this new alignment. The River Mersey, bottom right, was later diverted and heavy, rail served industry occupied the land but it is now a business park. Added by Mark Bartlett.
