Childwall railway station was a station located on the North Liverpool Extension Line at Well Lane, Childwall, Liverpool. It opened on 1 December 1879.
The station was distant from the village of Childwall. Passenger services ended in 1931 while it was still a village. The tracks were lifted in early 1979 when Childwall was a suburb of Liverpool with a large population.
Childwall railway station was situated on the Cheshire Lines Railway (CLC) North Liverpool Extension Line that connected the CLC Liverpool and Manchester line. The station opened on 1 December 1879 and took its name from the village which was east of the station. The station was on an embankment on the north side of Well Lane; it had a goods yard with one siding. Childwall station closed for passenger service on 1 January 1931, though it remained open for goods until August 1943. After it was fully closed, the station house was demolished.[1]
By 2015 the trackbed though the station site formed part of the Trans Pennine Trail.
