caption_attribution_description: English: The original goods-handling facilities of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway at the end of the Wapping Tunnel towards the dockside (later the Wapping Dock) in Liverpool.The sidings stretched back about 200 yards from the tunnel mouth towards the dock, with warehouses on both sides where goods could be loaded down from above onto the wagons. The facility remained in use, later renamed the Park Lane goods station, with various reconstructions, until 1972. Traffic through the tunnel continued to be cable-drawn to Edge Hill until 1896. The site has now been demolished and redeveloped; all that remains is the partially bricked-up tunnel portal at Kings Dock Road.
context_page_description: Park Lane was the world's first goods terminus on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway serving the south end Liverpool Docks. The station was opened in 1830. Its initial name was Wapping Station. The goods station was accessed from Edge Hill rail junction in the east of the city via the 1.26 miles long Wapping Tunnel.
  The goods station suffered from heavy German air raids during the Second World War, being mostly rebuilt after the conflict. The station along with the Wapping Tunnel was closed in 1972 and subsequently demolished. The tunnel remains intact.
