Blowick railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blowick railway station was on the Manchester and Southport Railway in the Blowick suburb of Southport, Merseyside. Situated on a level crossing on Meols Cop Road (B5276), the station opened as Cop End in early 1871, and was renamed Blowick on October 1, 1871. The station closed on September 29, 1939, and this section of the line closed on June 14, 1965, forcing trains to divert through Meols Cop on a section of the old Liverpool, Southport and Preston Junction Railway.
