Oh poo Paul beat me!!

I was wondering how this occurred, as whilst Halsall did indeed once have a railway station that was opened by the Liverpool, Southport and Preston Junction Railway, there have been no passenger services from there since it closed in 1952...when I was a 7-year old

In those days of yore, Deansgate station was then known as Knott Mill and Deansgate station..
