Breck Road railway station was located on the Canada Dock Branch to the north of Townsend Lane between Anfield and Clubmoor, Liverpool, England. It opened on 1 July 1870 and closed on 31 May 1948.
By 2017 the only trace of the station was a bricked-up entrance at street level, but freight trains to and from Seaforth Dock still pass through the station site. It was announced in December 2019 that Liverpool City Council had commissioned a feasibility study to see about reopening the Canada Dock Branch to passenger traffic.[3]
