The present-day frontage of the historically important Edge Hill station is seen from the cobbled entrance road off Tunnel Road. Edge Hill is Liverpool's oldest working station but this significance is not reflected in its condition with overgrown platforms, a pedestrian tunnel wreaking of urine and some rather run-down buildings far too big for its modern needs. That said, it cannot be denied that the 1836 built station is a grand structure that when it opened contained a stationary steam engine that provided power to haul trains up from Lime Street station by rope.
