- Kew Gardens railway station (Merseyside)
Kew Gardens was a railway station on the edge of Southport, Merseyside, on the Liverpool, Southport and Preston Junction Railway. The station opened on November 1, 1887, and was situated north of the A570 between Meols Cop Road and Foul Lane. Kew Gardens served and was named after a nearby 12 acre park and boating lake, which closed around 1930. The station closed to passengers on September 26, 1938, though the line remained open for goods traffic until January 21, 1952. The track was left in place until 1964 for the storage of excursion stock. The site has since been redeveloped and is now occupied by a retail park.
