Huyton Quarry railway station opened in 1830 as part of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway,[1] but Holt suggests it was originally known as the "station at the bottom of Whiston Incline" being renamed Huyton Quarry sometime after 1838.[2] Either way it was one of the earliest passenger railway stations in the world. The station was closed by BR on 15 September 1958.[1]
In 2014, an electrical switching site was constructed in the vicinity as part of the Manchester - Liverpool (via Earlestown) section of the NW electrification schemes.
