The station was an intermediate station on the Seacombe branch of the Wirral Railway. It opened to passengers on 1 June 1895, hosting regular passenger services to Wrexham, Chester, West Kirby and New Brighton. The station consisted of an island platform, located deep in a sandstone cutting accessed from a road bridge on Mill Lane, with a booking office at street level. A coal siding with an adjoining sloping approach road were also located at the station.citebook|title=Railway Stations of Wirral|author=Merseyside Railway History Group|pages=p49|publisher=Ian & Marilyn Boumphrey|isbn=1-899241-02-7]

Passenger numbers were poor, although the line was also regularly used by goods traffic. When the majority of the Wirral Railway was electrified in 1938, the Seacombe branch was omitted. The station was closed to passengers on 4 January 1960, although the line did continue to serve goods trains up until 1963. The route was then used to form the approach road to the Kingsway (Wallasey) Tunnel.citeweb|url=http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/stations/l/liscard_and_poulton/index.shtml|title=Disused Stations: Liscard & Poulton|work=Subterranea Britannica|accessdate=22 May|accessyear=2008]
