Station Name: LIVERPOOL CENTRAL HIGH LEVEL

[Source: Paul Wright]


In the weeks leading up to final closure the lines into Liverpool Central station were cut back to the very end of the station's remaining platform. Only enough platform was left to accommodate a two car DMU. This allowed demolition work to commence even before the station closed. In this view looking south- east in March 1972 demolition is in progress. The roof has been stripped of its glazing and the stations main building has been demolished and cleared. At this time an hourly train service to Gateacre was still operating. The temporary platform was located at the furthest point from the photographer outside the trainshed.
