Former railway track at Norwood Crescent
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 has not been put to economic use but remains as unmanaged woodland. Seen from the footbridge linking Norwood Crescent and Grange Road.

Meols Cop railway station, Lancashire
Opened in 1887 by the Liverpool, Southport and Preston Junction Railway (principally running north east-south west from Preston to Merseyside), this station has, by an accident of history and geography, ended up on the Wigan-Southport (south east - north west) line, replacing a small part of the Manchester and Southport Railway's original line. View north west towards Southport.
