Train Disaster at Waterloo Station and Crowds in Crosby

PHOTOGRAPHS have been submitted showing aspects of life from years gone by.
These include pictures from as far back as 1903 in Waterloo, Seaforth and Crosby.
Two of the photographs show the train disaster at Waterloo Station in 1903.

They show a derailed train on fire on the platform of the station surrounded by rubble.
Anyone with information about the train disaster and anyone with family members who were involved is asked to contact the Crosby Herald.

Another photograph is of the old Seaforth Police Station in Seaforth Road.
It shows police officers in old uniforms standing outside the station as well as a horse and carriage travelling along the road.

There is also a picture of crowds gathered at Islington in Liverpool Road, Crosby.
In the background of the photograph there is a shop called M and E Cook Hardware.
If anyone knows what is happening in the scene and why the crowd was gathered, they are asked to get in contact.

The photographs have been submitted by regular contributor and Memories reader Tom Heath.
