Fragment of railway embankment
Seen from the car park of Sure Store, this vestigial remnant appears to be the only remaining element of the Barton Branch railway at the Southport end of the line. The railway was constructed in 1887 as part of the overly-ambitious Liverpool, Southport and Preston railway and ran on an embankment for a considerable distance from south of the scene here through to a point north of Peel Street, crossing the Scarisbrick road by a bridge at Kew Garden station. The line never realised its original expectations and in effect functioned mainly as a cul-de-sac line for the Altcar Bob railcar service to Barton (latterly known as Downholland) station. Passenger services ceased in 1938 although the tracks were not removed until 1964. Apart from the fragment of embankment seen here, the whole of the embankment as far as Butts Lane junction as well as the bridge over the road has now been completely obliterated and built over by retail and trading estates.
