Eastbound freight on North Mersey line passing site of Ford Station and Aintree Sorting Sidings
View westwards near Sefton Junction, towards North Mersey Goods, Gladstone Dock and Liverpool Exchange via Linacre Road; ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire line. Ford station (closed 2/4/51) was this side of the A5038 bridge in the distance; Aintree SS are across on the south side of the line. The locomotive on the Class F freight is ex-War Department 2-8-0 No. 90557: note that it is fitted with a snow-plough - in mid-June.

Bridle Road, Bootle
A surprisingly busy road for an industrial estate on a Saturday afternoon. I had to wait some time to get even this much clear road in the shot.

Site of Ford station
Ford station on the Fazakerley to Bootle (North Mersey) line closed in 1951 although regular freight to/from the docks continued on this line until 1971 and it was still used occasionally until 2005. Image taken in 1959 shows this area from the other direction. There is no hint now of the station or of the once extensive railway sidings ("Aintree sorting sidings") apart from one rusting track disappearing into the undergrowth.
