[1][2] It was named after Kirby Park, the area surrounding the house Kirbymount, formerly the summer residence of John Hurleston Leche XV of Carden.

Originally considered an experimental station,[1] it was constructed primarily of timber 800 m (870 yd) to the south of the current West Kirby railway station and served largely as a school stop for the nearby Calday Grange Grammar School.

[1][2] The line was lifted two years later with the station building and platform completely demolished.

[1] The only evidence that a station stood on this site is the entrance on Sandy Lane in West Kirby.
