Cocker Bar railway station was located in what is still open country where Cocker Bar Road (B5248) crosses what is now the Ormskirk Branch Line.[1]
The station was closed when Midge Hall station opened 47 chains (0.95 km) further north[2] in 1859, shortly after the line was taken over by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.
