Today I have wandered for several miles trying to follow the lines of the old railway and piece together exactly what was where. I did come across another fantastic picture of Crown Street station, different from the better known engraving, this one from an 1833 Penny Magazine article. And I've now lost the website of course in my excitement, but the picture shows much more detail, and crucially the descending level of the tracks compared to the station, as the carriages descended by gravity to the cutting at Edge Hill.
