Opened in 1854 by the Furness Railway as the terminus of its line from Barrow, this railway station closed to passengers after just three years when the current through station (immediately to the left, just out of view) was opened in 1857. It continued for many more years as a goods station, and there are still sidings to the rear of it. It was a car showroom when this image was taken.
