Pier Head
This sign marks the site of Pier Head station, the busiest on the late lamented Liverpool Overhead Railway, with the Liver Building in the background and beyond that the River Mersey waterfront, at 15.34 on Wednesday, 30th April 2025. This line, which ran 16 ft. above the streets, sadly closed at the end of 1956 as the cost of renewing the decking was deemed too prohibitive, and was demolished with indecent haste the following year, ruining any chance of its reopening. These days it is difficult to imagine that a railway had ever been here.
