Hi Mazi,

That is very helpful. My ancestor was taken to the Railway Hotel (the original one) where he died of his injuries. I was hoping that part of the station remained but now it is looking as if it has all gone.

Thank you for your help

Hi Joney,

I have just come back from a trip to Liverpool and took the train to Waterloo in the dark. I went up the steep stairs and I thought the that part looked Victorian but was not sure. I asked a guard when that part was built but he did not know. Thank you for your help. My  gt gt gt gt gt grandfather was killed by a train in between Waterloo and Blundellsand in 1867.

So thank you for your help

Lancashire / Waterloo Train Station

Hi,

I have an interest in Waterloo train station and was hoping if anybody could give me some information about the station. I would like to know if any of the 1867 station remains, rails,steps, tiles or such? I know this is a tall order and I might have to travel to a research library but here is hoping!! 

Thank you

Thanks Pels.

Geoff, that is interesting. I happened to go through Crewe yesterday on my way back from a research trip to Liverpool. Was that the main place of work for a Turner in Crewe? What is a Turner?

Thank you for all the help

Hi Claire,
I think it is him but wanted to make sure that I was reading the name correctly. I first read the occupation as  Farmer and when I looked at the census Turner so I wanted to make sure I was not just trying to make it all fit to suit my family. Also the census is Crewe which  is where the John in the letter lived!


Thank you
