Seen from the Windsor Road footbridge. St Luke's was a station (open 1883 to 1968) a short way from the town centre which served three railway routes - to Preston, the Barton branch and the direct line to Manchester via Blowick. The first two passed under the bridge in view, the latter under a further span of the bridge to the right (south). The only service now passing along this line is to Manchester via Meols Cop.
