Former railway track at Norwood Crescent

Image: © Oliver Dixon Taken: 20 Oct 2024

The former Southport to Crossens and Preston railway (closed 1964) ran in a shallow cutting at this point immediately north of the junction of the western and eastern limbs of the Meols Cop "triangle". Unusually, this strip of former railway land which extends as far as Roe Lane has not been put to economic use but remains as unmanaged woodland. Seen from the footbridge linking Norwood Crescent and Grange Road.
