Shore Road Goods railway station

Shore Road Goods was a goods terminus in Birkenhead, England. The goods station was situated near to Morpeth Dock, on the Birkenhead Dock Branch railway line, and operated by the Cheshire Lines Committee.[1] The CLC was granted permission to run two locomotives on the dock lines from 13 March 1884.[2] The engine shed, which adjoined the goods station, was opened in 1888 and closed in 1961.[3] The main building of the goods station is still in existence, and is used as an office for Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council's archives service.[4][5]
