    • Kew Gardens was a railway station at Kew on the edge of Southport, Merseyside, England, situated north of the A570 between Meols Cop Road and Foul Lane.


    History


    The line and station were built by the Liverpool, Southport and Preston Junction Railway, opening on 1 November 1887.
    Kew Gardens served and was named after a nearby 12-acre (49,000 m2) park and boating lake, which closed around 1930. The station closed to passengers on 26 September 1938, though the line remained open for goods traffic until 21 January 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.
