Liverpool Lime Street Station has been serving our city since 1836, with millions of people passing through it every year.
Former British Rail worker Michael Patterson is one of those who has frequently travelled through Lime Street Station. During his time working for the British Rail heritage watchdog, Michael was tasked with recording the nation's train stations with the aim of improving public relations with passengers.
This includes Liverpool Lime Street where he has captured life at the station between 1979 and 1991 in fascinating photos he has shared online. When you first arrive on Michael’s Flickr profile, the sheer amount of photos is mind-blowing, with there being over 3,000 snaps taken at many train stations across the UK and in Europe.
