The line to Wigan and Manchester curves out of Southport with some semi-dismantled carriage sidings in the foreground. On the left, where the retail building now is, was once the site of Southport's Central station which had a very short life as a passenger station - closing in 1901 - but continued to handle goods into the 1970s.
