GBRailfreight Class 66, 66705, Huyton railway station
A diesel locomotive is a relatively rare sight at a station, these days. Though, they're still in common use for freight. On this occasion, the GBRf General Motors EMD66 named "Golden Jubilee" is running fast and light from Liverpool, having been either to the Seaforth container terminal or to Edge Hill. The locomotive is seen heading away from the camera, passing signal HN34/27.

Blacklow Brow and The Queens Arms
A long time back this road continued across the railway by means of a level crossing to join Derby Road. There is still a pedestrian link through the subway to the left of the station sign.

Houses on The Park
(That's the road name). Seen across the park (McGoldrick Park) from Rydal Road. The standing water is the result of heavy rain.

Postbox, Blacklow Brow
Outside Huyton Station. This is an unusually large box for a wall box, so I included the car to give a sense of scale.

Huyton Station 2008
Again, comparison needs to be made with John Martin's view from the 1970s http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/363420 The extended building covering the subway has now disappeared - the subway entrance still exists, behind the longer brick wall. Unfortunately the bricked up windows do give a rather bleak impression.
