Rainhill Station
Rainhill is nowadays an unremarkable stop on the Liverpool - Manchester line, but it has a special place in railway history. It was here in October 1829 that trials were held which established beyond doubt that the steam locomotive was the future; the trials were famously won by George Stephenson's Rocket.
