Squires Gate Station
For a short period c1865-72, there was a station or halt known as
"Stony Hill" in this area.
In the 1930s Blackpool Promenade and Promenade tramway was being extended to
Squires Gate and the dunes lying inland at South Shore were being
levelled to create a large residential area. In addition there was a
large holiday camp nearby. This necessitated a new station at Squires Gate.
