Old Leathers Lane, now Fir Avenue also Fir Close before the houses were built.

Speke Station 1852-1930

The Avenue, Halewood.

These lines continued off right of shot to Gateacre, then eventually divided, with some going to Liverpool Docks and others continuing to Southport Lord Street. This area was eventually abandoned for railway use and now forms the "Halewood Park Triangle".

The original Halewood station on this line, opened in 1874 and closed in 1951. Confusingly, there was yet another Halewood station on what is now the line from Euston through Runcorn to Liverpool Lime Street. It was opened in 1852, renamed Halebank for Hale in 1874, renamed again in 1895, this time to the simpler and more accurate "Halebank". It was finally closed in 1958.

Future site of the second Halewood station, opened in 1988
