Houses, heavily redeveloped & built on, yet two original railway remnants remain... ONE... is what I suspect is the original station master's house on Ivy Street that previously overlooked the island platforms. It is still set back from the road & built at an angle & in the style of all the other station master's houses/crossing keeper's houses & station buildings along the line from Southport to Wigan that were all built from stone that was quarried at Parbold..
