The original Ansdell station was 300 metres closer to Lytham, behind the photographer. The current station was opened by the Preston & Wyre Joint Railway in 1903 to replace it (although the original site was used for goods until the 1960s). This view is north west towards Blackpool South (and until 1964, Blackpool Central). It used to be an island platform with trains calling at both sides, with an outer pair of tracks for non-stop trains.
