From Cheshire Lines Railway Estate Plans. I understand Cheshire Record Office holds them.
Now part of the Cheshire Lines Path/Trans Pennine Trail its hard to believe that Lydiate once had its own railway station on the Southport & Cheshire Lines Extension Railway.

Disused Stations Site Record has the info’ and a couple of interesting ‘then and now’ photos on Lydiate’s long lost railway station – see link above, which was not even in the Civil Parish of Lydiate but in Altcar.
Here are a few additional photos I have also come across/purchased/taken of the old station.
