Hello everyone, I have often noticed when travelling on the Manchester to Cleethorpes Service that I can see an old platform on the other side of the LC to the station. What is this platform?

Various maps, for example https://maps.nls.uk/view/114645498 have a siding against the platform marked as "C.R."; this could stand for "Carriage Road" either where road carriages were loaded onto flat wagons, or where railway carriages were placed for cleaning in between use on services. Might have been used for mail as well?
Here's a view of it from 2008:
