North Docks Goods railway station
North Docks good railway station was a goods station in Liverpool owned and operated by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR), it was initially situated between Blackstone Street and Walter Street but gradually expanded beyond these boundaries.
The station was the terminus of the North Docks branch, which ran from a junction just north of Liverpool North Docks station (which later became Sandhills), both opened on 26 March 1855.
The station had connections onto the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board (MDHB) rail network. Associated with the station were two High-level coal branches in Bramley-Moore and Wellington docks, maintaining a higher level of line so that coal could be delivered directly into ships using shutes.
There were two goods sheds on the site, before 1864 one was constructed to the south, adjacent to and accessed from Great Howard Street, between 1864 and 1893 another, similar sized, shed was constructed adjacent to Blackstone Street.
By 1894 the station was reported to have a 20-ton crane.
The goods station dealt with a significant amount of imported Irish livestock, around 250 wagonloads a day for over 50 years until an outbreak of foot and mouth disease caused livestock to be diverted to Birkenhead and quarantined.
The goods station and yard closed on 30 June 1963 and the high-level coal lines closed on 1 October 1966.

Bramley-Moore Dock
Bramley-Moore Dock was a dock on the River Mersey in Liverpool, England, and part of the Port of Liverpool. The dock is located in the northern dock system in Liverpool's Vauxhall area, and was connected to Sandon Half Tide Dock to the north and Nelson Dock to the south. Jesse Hartley was the architect. The dock opened in 1848.
The dock was infilled with Everton FC's new home ground, Hill Dickinson Stadium, which opened in 2025 and was constructed on the dock. The 52,888-capacity stadium opened in time for the start of the 2025–26 football season. The project was cited as one of the reasons for the revocation of Liverpool's World Heritage Site status as the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City, with the World Heritage Committee stating that the project was one of the developments which had resulted in a "serious deterioration" of the historic site.
