In 1872 Southport Tramways authorised the construction of Southport’s first horse tramway. On May 31st, 1873, it ran from Churchtown Station, southwest to Birkdale Station, travelling via Mill Lane, Roe Lane, and Lord Street. A second route opened shortly afterward, running from Lord Street to Cambridge Road, where it re-joined the original line by Churchtown Station, before continuing to the Botanic Gardens. |
