LIVERPOOL, CROSBY, AND SOUTHPORT RAILWAY, a railway in Lancashire; from a junction with the Liverpool and Bury, 1¾ mile N of Tithebarn-street station in Liverpool, over the Lancashire and Yorkshire and the East Lancashire to Crosby, and thence along the coast to Southport. It was authorized in 1847; and was purchased by the Lancashire and Yorkshire in 1855. It is 18½ miles long; but 1¾ mile of its length, to the Kirkdale junction, belonged originally to the Lancashire and Yorkshire and the East Lancashire.
