Hall Road station is on the very edge of Crosby, and only a short walk to the beach where the hundred statues of Antony Gormley's Another Place look out to sea. We explored the station a bit first, of course!

The level crossing where the railway crosses the road which leads to the coast:

As well as the level crossing a fairly modern footbridge crosses the track:

Platform 1, for trains towards Liverpool Central has two very attractive red brick buildings, both still in railway use. This one, nearest the footbridge, serves as the ticket office:

Further along platform 1 is a second building housing a waiting room and toilets:

The only remaining building on platform 2 is a little less well kempt:
