View towards buffer-stops, when this station was the principal main-line station in Birkenhead and the terminus (jointly owned by the GWR and LMSR before Nationalisation) of the main line from Chester, Birmingham and London (Paddington). The terminus and its short connecting branch from Blackpool Street was closed on 5/11/1967. Moderator comment (2021): The following views are taken from the identical viewpoint, firstly on the final night of operation, and secondly a view in 2010 of the redeveloped site. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6781976 and https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1794669
