Crown Street railway station was the Liverpool terminus railway station of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in Liverpool, England, it opened on 15 September 1830. The station was one of the world's first on an inter-city passenger railway in which all services were operated by mechanical traction.
The station was only used for passengers for six years before being replaced by Lime Street which was closer to Liverpool City centre.
The station was demolished as the site was converted into a coal and goods yard which remained in use until 1972. The location of the station is now a park with little trace of any railway facilities.
