Hundred End railway station was previously a stop on the West Lancashire Railway, fully opened in 1878, which ran between Southport and Preston, carrying both passengers and cargo from the fields of the area to be sold at town markets.

Low passenger numbers later led to the railway's decline and its closure was assured by the Beeching Axe in 1964.

The station house has since been demolished but the train track can be followed along a footpath that stretches towards Banks.

The largest house is Ribble Hall which is a modern mansion built by Godfrey Crook.

He was responsible for taking away the train tracks and the gravel beds when the West Lancashire Railway line closed, he built Ribble Hall on land near the former Hundred End railway station.
