 The Railway
At first the station at Skelmersdale was called "Blaguegate" but from 1st August 1874 it was renamed "Skelmersdale" which it remained till its closure, and in the following year another line was laid making the track from Ormskirk double.
The line then continued to Rainford down where Railway Road is now, under the bridge on Liverpool Road (now a pedestrian bridge) and where the road bends left the line used to go straight on over White Moss Road where there was a Crossing Halt and on it went to Rainford.
So the line which was initially completed to the north western edge of Skelmersdale was finally completed through to Rainford Junction and after being scrutinised by the Government Inspectors of Railways on Tuesday 23rd February 1858 was opened on Monday 1st March 1858.
