Edge Hill

CRS Code	EDG
Collected date	04/07/13

Edge Hill is Liverpool's oldest working station, but its four platforms are now vast expanses with barely controlled weeds, overshadowed by buildings far too large for modern needs. The station has two island platforms, both connected to the road overbridge by cobbled ramps. The southern ramp is behind a locked gate, mostly unused, and thus slightly green:

Passenger access to the platforms is via this northern ramp, looking east towards the station entrance:

The entrance to the station is via the ticket office:

This plaque on the building wall commemorates the 1979 BR restoration of Edge Hill station:

Another plaque notes the Grade II* listing of the buildings:
