History

Glasson Dock was opened by the London & North Western Railway on 9 July 1883.[2] The station passed to the London, Midland & Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923, only to be closed seven years later on 7 July 1930.[3]

The site today

The trackbed through the former station is now part of the Lancashire Coastal Way and the longer Bay Cycle Way. However, the station itself was demolished after goods services stopped in 1964.[4]
