History
The station opened on 1 December 1879. It was located about 2 miles away from Croxteth Hall, which was the home of Lord Sefton. The station closed to passengers in November 1960 and completely five years later. The line through the station site continued in use by freight trains until 1975, with the tracks being lifted in early 1979.
The site today
The platforms remain extant, with the station building converted to a private residence and shop. The trackbed through the station site forms the Liverpool Loopline Path, part of the Trans Pennine Trail.
