Birkenhead Woodside Station
The 1908/1911 25" O.S. map here shows the terminal station adjacent to Woodside Ferry.
The station was opened on 31 March 1878 to replace the inadequate passenger facilities at Birkenhead Monk's Ferry Station. It was the terminus for local services to Chester, Helsby, West Kirby, and destinations in North Wales. Routes elsewhere included Great Western Railway services to Chester General, Wrexham General, Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton Low Level, Birmingham Snow Hill, and London Paddington. There were also daily through trains to the Kent coast via Oxford, Reading and Redhill run jointly with the Southern Railway, and also summer services to Bournemouth. Access was via a half mile tunnel. In order to join up with the existing track of the Chester and Birkenhead Railway, the tunnel from Woodside to alongside the existing Monks Ferry tunnel entrance, near Grange Lane, was constructed using the cut-and-cover method, with most of its length running under Chester Street. The station closed to passengers on 5 November 1967 and despite being the only listed terminus in Merseyside, was demolished within a year. [1]
The site is now occupied by modern office buildings.
