Lytham (Station Road) railway station

The original Lytham railway station was the Lytham

terminus of a branch of the Preston and Wyre Joint Railway from Kirkham in Lancashire, England. It opened,
along with the branch, on 16 February 1846; the road it
was located in became known as Station Road. It was
built in a Renaissance style from Longridge stone. A
branch was also built to the dock at Lytham Pool.
In 1863, the Blackpool and Lytham Railway opened a
separate line to its own station in Ballam Road, Lytham.
By 1874, both lines were owned jointly by the Lancashire
and Yorkshire Railway and the London and North Western Railway. Ballam Road station was rebuilt as a through
station and a connecting line was built to join the other
line east of Lytham. The original station in Station Road
was then closed to passengers, but continued to be used
as a goods station until 1963.[1]
A re station now occupies the site.
