Billychris Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Where was the entrance to Sutton Oak Station situated ? I have looked at some old maps but the streets on them ( Dixon Street / Binney Street ) demolished long ago so I can't quite visualise the position. Walking down Lancots Lane today I could just make out under the grime on walk next to bridge an area that looks like it was filled in ... could this be the old entrance ?

FRANK Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Old maps seem to show an entrance on Lancots Lane just south of the low (ex) railway bridge.

Billychris Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 Thanks for quick reply . My neighbour reckoned station was nearer to town , I think he's getting mixed up with Peasley Cross Station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORT Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Peasley Cross station is also shown on the map as a red dot at Peasley cross. Sutton Oak Station was where Sutton Oak Engine sheds used to be. added 19 minutes later Sorry I am wrong. The entrance was in Lancots Lane not Baxters Lane. Ordnance Survey map shows the Street names in the 1905 map. You can see both Baxters Lane and Lancots Lane and the station is shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HORT Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 It used to be 2 old pence from Sutton Oak to St Helens. St Helens station was renamed ST Helens Shaw Street om 1st March 1948 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
